Remember even if the flight from DCA pulls up to the gate right on schedule it can be another 5 minutes before the OP is actually exiting the a/c (jet bridge operations at MIA are very slow). With a 52 minute connection the "minutes" matter.
The OP is on the AA flight to LHR not the BA flight. AA flights to LHR are more likely to depart from the D gates whereas the BA flights are more likely to depart from the E gates.
