Generally speaking a slow heart rate, also known as bradycardia, is only considered healthy in the young and physically fit. It is hard to answer your question without a full understanding of the Demographics of your husband (i.e. what is his BMI, how old is he, how much cardio exercise he gets in a given week, and if he has any symptoms that would indicate heart problems). In older people and those who are not physically fit bradycardia can tend to indicate a problem with the conduction system of the heart. If you are still concerned you should discuss the matter with your doctor.
