I once had surgery to potentially get an ablation (long story) and the docs kept asking if I was ok whilst lying waiting for it to start. "Yep, fine, why?" "Only that your HR is about 43 and it only went up to 48 when the surgeon came in, we usually expect it to be much higher than that!"
It did eventually go up once they put the electrodes into my heart, and essentially hand cranked it up to 195bpm, not fun at all.
