HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the case of malignancy then patient may experience and more it could be due to chemotherapy and some time may be due to disease it self, once it is the chemotherapy going on there then it is nothing to worry even for the increase heart rate hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
