Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The major criterion is ECG change
Pressure and rate are important but need correlation with the total clinical picture
Poor physical training, treatment with beta blockers are also some of the contributing causes for the failure to up the rate
The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care
Good luck
