For a 27 year old: woman the normal heart rate can vary between 40 and180 BPM. What you heard (HR&lt;50 concerning) is just that, hearsay! That heart rate is not associated with either heart blockage or MVP. It is unlikely there is anything wrong as it sounds like you have been thoroughly evaluated.
