Hawthorne: It can cause bradycardia meaning slow down heart rate so i would not recommend it along with a beta blocker like metoprolol which does the same.

Depends: 3 medications that are proven to help strengthen the heart in "systolic" heart failure (i.e. Weak heart muscle) are beta blocker ( like metoprolol), ace inhibitor ( like captopril) and spironolactone (if you are tolerate it). Diuretics and digoxin are added for symptomatic relief. Otc/herbal remedies like hawthorn have not undergone extensive randomized trials, hence not recommended.
