Brief Answer:
No.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

As both have an impact to NO metabolism, it may cause some temporary blood pressure drop. Blood pressure drop causes increased heart rate as a reflex action. But this usually is a mild blood pressure drop and remains unnoticeable.
So answering your question, no, this medicines do not cause lower heart rate. Moreover they may cause acceleration of heart rate.

Hope this will help. feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
