The internal clocks would keep pretty good time if your heartbeat is every 5 mins or so, and you would then only need to send start/stop signals to kick off the pulses

Or you want to trigger the leds with 1/100 precision ?
I have an application requiting 20 pkt/s.
A simple crono display with secs & 1/10 of sec and don't get smooth countdown.
Use custom firmware with arduino IDE.
