If surgery is not an option, he should be seen by a cardiologist and his medical regimen should be optimized. This includes medication, diet and exercise that is safe for him to do. Hopefully, these interventions can maintain his comfort and allow him to live as long as possible while maintaining a good quality of life. Good luck to both of you!
