A brief summary is high pressure pumps (BP) work at low pump rate (HR), while low pressure pumps (BP) work at higher pump rates (HR). Can anyone say definitively if my theory holds water?

Does not work in the case of the heart and blood vessels. Blood vessels are not fixed diameter pipes like in heating systems etc. I have a low resting HR and low normal blood pressure.

Fair point.
I won't worry about it though as that might raise my BP. 😉

I'm by no means fit (not now anyway) 64 and have a hr as I sit here of 54. It drops to 45 when I'm sleeping - all as measured by my garmin watch. I'm not an athlete, I don't 'have' bradycardia. I've no idea why it is what it is and don't really concern myself with it anymore.

I'm a bit meh about my watch these days. It's useful and does correlate sometimes (though today I woke with a 100% body battery and a 99/100 sleep score - but feel nowhere near that, go figure) but I don't live by it. It's use comes when the numbers (my numbers) change; it can 'predict', and kinda validate, illness.

My rhr has never changed from my teens. My average HR for various power zones is lower now though which is a general indicator of improved fitness over the years.
