It depends: It depends on his existing heart problems, and what the cardiologists find from his stress test.. Did they let him complete it? If so, that is a good sign because it means he wasn't showing alarming ekg changes during it. If that happens, they would usually stop the test. Your best answers will come from conversation with your father's physicians.

Expect reality: Your dad saw radio started by marconi, he watched fdr win 4 presidential races, the new deal organized & instituted, social security formed, he watched ww i vets march for benefits, he watched america begin new jobs with the wpa, he has survived umpteen presidents & 7 major wars. He is a great son of the 20th century, and will take the news, whatever it is, as man who is in extra innings.
