Tell me this didn't evoke a similar comment a few days ago.

I ran my HR up to 172 last night, to see if I still could. Definitely not as high as it could go, but I'm not sure how long I could maintain that. I used to be able to keep it above 165 for 10 or more minutes, doing long, steep climbs. Then again, I was also doing them slower, so...?

Quattro for me. My fourth guess took a good half hour of ruminating.

I don't ruminate, and just do it. Kind of quite worrying about the number of guesses.

However, very few of us have a critical narrowing or a hot plaque that might take us out this month. People in that category (many or most of whom have symptoms with exertion) should be medicated and under close supervision and have no business riding a bike at any effort level until they're good and stable. That's an acute condition, not something you expect or screen for in random old duffers. For your unfortunate guy, yeah, he's got bad disease and is at higher risk across the board, but he knew that five years ago and is presumably getting the close follow-up he needs.
An EKG never hurts and I even think an echocardiogram might be worth doing in lifelong competitive athletes. There just seems to be a lot of apparently healthy people and casual riders who have rolled Afib, deadly arrhythmias, and heart attacks into a unitary bogey man who will devour them if they stray over some imaginary redline on the HRM.
Maybe @datlas can correct some of this.

It took a long time to learn it, believe it, and stick to it but if temps and humidity are up, I wear a monitor religiously.
A friend of mine, same age, history, body style, etc., had the same problems and now has a core temperature monitor and swears by it. I've thought of trying one and see how it compares to my "stuck" threshold HR.

Almost all my rides are hot and humid.

And, speaking of robusta, the Italian coffee maker came in today. I tested it to see if it would boil, on the induction hotplate. It did and it did so quickly. I may have to turn it down some.
