I was struggling with an internet connection. The site took so long to respond that I was directed to the page that says I can't post twice in 30 seconds. On my device it didn't even post once, that I could see anyway. At other times, with a weak signal, When I type bikeforums.net into the search bar, I'm directed to Internet Brands privacy policy.
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.

Me, too. Been poking at it off and on all morning. Stuck after 3rd guess, with the 2nd and 5th letter in the right place, but nothing else.
EDIT: Got it. 4/6.

Here's how I see it: All of us probably have coronary artery disease, so the baseline risk of heart attack is significantly > zero and generally increasing over time. 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.

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.

How would that work? How could you monitor your core temp on the fly?

It might also cause some chaffing, making it a pain in other parts, as well.

I have no idea as I haven’t researched them yet. I don’t even know what he uses but it seems to me that he told me that it clips on to his HRM strap or something. I assume that it’s reading skin temp.

I use one for hot and humid days. Even in my younger years when I weighed 145# and was racing regularly, I would easily overheat and my HR would climb and not come down even when coasting and I'd end up crawling home. Over the years, I've learned that when my HR gets stuck at anerobic threshold (154 bpm) on a hot and humid day, I need to slow down until my HR falls below a certain number (145 bpm) and coast home. 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.
