Allow ECG to provide a result below 50 bpm

Please expand ECG interpretations for heart rates below 50 bpm. Athletes can have much lower heart rates than the population average. I, as an amateur athlete, have resting heart rates between 35 and 45 bpm without being considered ill because of it. In my actual case, the interpretation would be "sinus bradycardia" and not "inconclusive".
This is needed because:
It would contribute to heart health and allow arrhythmias to be detected in people with lower heart rates. For example, atrial fibrillation may be present at the same time as a low pulse; such cases are not detected at the moment.
I'd use this: Weekly
