Is it bad to have a slow heart beat?

I exercise, specifically cardio, and i know that my heart beat will slow down over time. On the other hand, is it bad to have a slow heart beat? Reasons? Examples? Thanks :)

My heart beat is around 45-55 bpm at rest.

   For resting heart rate: Well-trained athletes: 40 – 60 beats per minute. You may undergo Exercise stress test in an hospital.

   If you are very active, it is normal to have a low resting heart rate. Your heart is stronger and pumps harder with each beat, so it is able to get adequate blood throughout your body with less beats. If you feel fine, then it is not anything to worry about. I also exercise frequently, and my resting heart rate is about 50. I once took my pulse when I had been laying in my bed for a while watching TV, and it was about 40. If you're concerned, talk to a doctor, but if you're perfectly healthy, and exercise regularly, he/she will tell you not to worry about it if you do not have unusual symptoms. You have a healthy heart…

   That is great! You don't ant a quick resting heart rate. If it is not to low (below 30), then you are fine Some of the best athletes have around 35-40 bpm heart rates at rest. Your heart is truly resting which is a good thing.
