Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Yes, pulse rate of 43 beats per minute is a concern, as she is also hypertensive patient. It indicates her heart rate has dropped due to decreased beats per minute.
Kindly get her evaluated by a nearest medical centre at the earliest for the following and take a Physician's opinion for the same.
1. Recording blood pressure.
2. Electrocardigram (ECG) monitoring.
3. Echocardiogram.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
