thanks for the question
as mam your husband has a pace maker ,which generates its own electricity and conduct to the heart
as the pace maker has a fixed value it wont vary as our physiologically heart does
bp is the resistance of the arterial wall against the pumped out blood from heart
i think bp is good but you havent mentioned his age ?
you just take care heart rate should not go beyond 100-120 if you can set your heat to 60-72-76 beats per minute then it would be good dnt allow him to do exertional work
