Does a low heart rate always mean an enlarged heart size?
Former Member
I was having this discussion with someone who says that a person with a low resting heart rate automatically has an enlarged heart.
I once had my heart checked. While my resting heart rate was around 35 bpm, my heart size was rather average. I recently read something that said that an athlete does NOT automatically have an enlarged heart.
I can't find that article anymore.
Does anyone know in what way a low heart rate has to do with the size of your heart and if all swimmers have larger hearts than average people?

lower heart rate generally means better physicall fitness not large heart. however, it you want to be big hearted . . .
seriously, I don't measure my heart rate, my satisfaction comes when the nurse can't find my resting pulse . . . because it's so faint and soft
