    Yea some people just have really low resting heart rates. Lance armstrong is in the 30's I've heard
  14. Atropine

    You are right Love, only give it if the pt is symptomatic. It can be a little nerve racking to have a hr around 30-40, but if the pt is compensating accordingly no need for meds. However treating the cause if in fact it was elevaed icp's may be an op...
