What Causes Reduced BPM Rate?

I am inquiring about a low/slow heart beat of 42 beats per minute. My son-in-law (French) is in the hospital for tests. He has been getting progressively weaker. Am waiting for my daughter to update me, but due to the time-difference, that probably won t be until tomorrow.

"As"per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this -

1)Do a clinical examination by your [cardiologist] and do few pathological tests like [ECG, ECHO, Treadmill stress test and Cardiac catheterization] and blood test include [CBC, TSH, LFT and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)]to confirm diagnosis and ruled out other pathological disorders.
