I had MVR surgery back in October 2019 and have been on Cordarone 100 mg since then. Over the last month and a half, my heart rate has been consistently between 60-65 bpm. Is this a normal range or should I get it checked by my cardiologist?

A heart rate consistently between 60-65 bpm is generally considered within the normal range for adults, but it's crucial to consider your specific situation. Since you have a history of MVR surgery and are on Cordarone, it's recommended to consult with your cardiologist for their specific recommendations based on your individual health profile.
