No: A heart rate of 40 is not normal heart rate below 50 or not normal. Usually heart rate 50 to 90 at rest considered normal. Usual evaluation is to check if the patient is on a beta blocker calcium blocker that slows the heart rate.A highly trained athlete that can have a heart rate in the 40s at rest. Holter heartbeat monitor worn at home . See cardiologist
