Hello! With the question: "Is the heart rate below 60l/min related to any disease?" Your doctor responds as follows:
Normal resting heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. A heart rate below 60 beats/minute is called bradycardia. But a heart rate lower than 60 doesn't mean you have a health problem.
It can be the result of taking medications such as beta blockers. A lower heart rate is also common among physically active people or athletes. Active people often have a lower resting heart rate (as low as 40) because their heart muscle is in better condition and it doesn't have to work as much to maintain a steady beat.
Sometimes slow heart rate is a symptom of pathology: Ischemic heart disease, Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, Congenital heart disease, Degeneration of conduction system...
