Should a patient take Carvedilol for high blood pressure if their heart rate is 42 beats per minute?

Carvedilol is an alpha/beta blocker and as such can lower resting heart rate. A resting HR of 42 is already dangerously low. Good HR's range from 60-100 bpm. 30's are cause for alarm and possibly pacemaker implantation if cause is not discerned. In any case, your heartrate is not the same as your blood pressure, so you would need to find out what that is beforehand.
