Slowest heart beat in a human

On 11 August 2005, Martin Brady was tested at the chest and heart unit in Guernsey, Channel Islands. He was found to have a resting heart rate of 27 beats per minute. Initially concerned that his "extreme" lifestyle was having an adverse effect, he was surprised when the heart specialist checked him over and said contrary to opinion he would not need any treatment especially not a pacemaker. When he's subsequent check up was due he was advised that he no longer needed monitoring. Unsure about the status now put upon him of having "the body of a top athlete" it was then that upon further investigation Martin discovered he had a heart rate lower then the Guinness book of records entry. The previous title holder being Miguel Indurin, a 5 times tour de France winner renown for his dedication to training and superb physical capabilities. Miguel had held the record for 12 years. but after initial trepidation and some reserve, in 2008 Martin applied for and was granted the record of "slowest heart beat ever recorded in a healthy human being". His record being printed on page 63 of the 2009 edition of the Guinness book of records. He is also known to have a unique physical makeup allowing him to stay underwater for long periods (although an official timing is not available) he also has a benign tremor, a chromosone trans location, a slow clotting time (although not a hemophiliac) and suffers from sleep apnea.Bernard clown-mouse (talk) 19:53, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
