Hello,
He may be suffering from triple vessel disease along with that he may be having age-related aortic valve sclerosis. So maybe undergone valve replacement along with that bypass surgery.
So he may be travelled by doctors advice only. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
