Slightly unrelated thanks for the CRY link @Flaperon. I have booked onto a screening on the 1st May (just about young still at 35!). I don't have any issues but my paternal grandfather died at the age of 45 of a heart attack so it is worthwhile getting screened.

As per wwilly waving contest, high 40's to low 50's RHR. Don't think I win anything!

What if you're over 35? There are still heart risks from being an endurance athlete in middle age no?

Got me worried now. Can’t get mine below 70bpm. Used to be much lower but I’ve just had a cup of tea.

mine has always been low. just measured it for 20seconds and it was 17, so 51bpm and I've just had a coffee. I'm 50 this year, never had any problems. Used to be in the mid 30s ten yrs ago.

Is the thinking that it will have killed you by now if you have anything they're looking for?!?

Bluntly speaking, yes.
