Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
Pause time means Interval between two ECG complexes, between two beats.
Normal heart rate is around 60-90 beats per minute.
So if your heart rate is lower than pause time is high.
I think your ECG was showing this, so doctor ordered holter monitoring for better evaluation.
And in holter report nothing seems worrisome.
If you are not having any symptoms than no need to worry for your ECG and holter report and high pause time.
But if you have symptoms like hypotension, giddiness, chest pain etc than consult cardiologist.
I find this answer helpful
