Brief Answer:
It does not directly slow the heart rate.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for using Healthcare Magic. Valium does not directly cause a slow heart rate. However, if it relieves an anxiety state associated with a raised heart rate it may indirectly slow the heart rate.
I hope this is of help. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Dr K A Pottinger,
