Hi and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon,i understand your anxiety.
Your father has multiple organ illness with CKD(chronic kidney disease).
Low pulse rate may be due to multiple factors.
His treatment protocol is not written and hence difficult to comment.
However,treatment isn't only for the low pulse rate.
His vital parameters,including his B.P. need to be in the normal range.
Gradually his pulse rate should become normal.
Consider a kidney transplant at the earliest. Wish him well.
