Not really.

When I was in hospital after my heart attack I found that relaxing would easily drop my heart rate below 50, which is technically bradycardia and would set off an alarm on the heart monitor (that bleepy thing with the graphs).
When I was on the Coronary Care Unit this didn't really matter as they ignored it - they were keeping a close enough eye on us that they would be aware of a problem, alarm or no alarm, and a slow heart rate isn't uncommon in a ward full of people in the throes of serious cardiac problems.
When I was moved downstairs to a general cardiac ward on the second night, I found that somebody would come from the nurses' station up the corridor to check on me each time it went off.
By this time, I'd also taught myself the biofeedback technique: I could look at the monitor and deliberately slow my heart down until it triggered the bradycardia alarm. As there was no other form of entertainment to hand, I occupied the time that evening by summoning a nurse every fifteen minutes or so by the power of thought alone
When I woke up in the morning I tried it again, but they'd disabled the bradycardia alarm on my heart monitor while I was asleep
