The concerns for heart rate from an actual medical standpoint (like on a Bruce protocol) are
1) failure to get close to predicted maximum
2) a bunch of arrythmias
3) failure to return to resting rate in a reasonable time post-exercise

I, as an ame, don’t really get worried if an airman comes in with a HR that is 86 and regular if there aren’t any other warning signs.,,
