Any research on whether a slow heart beat is good or bad?0

Typically athletic people have a broader range (180+ when working, 50- when resting) but it's not an absolute. My mother and grandfather were both in the 30s for resting HR and were not athletic/fit. And there are some pretty decent athletes who have a higher resting rate.
For me personally going from 200 to 150 lbs dropped the resting HR from 75 to 40.
