I did read that Bradycardia can cause overreach of LV , I interpret that to mean the slower pulse will cause greater filling of the LV during diastole and on systole potentially lead to greater regurgitation during systole ?

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Bradycardia will cause a better left ventricle functioning. This will help to relieve your symptoms. The contrary is true in many patients the symptoms and heart functioning will become worse with tachycardia.
This is why you shouldn't worry about.
