Cardiologist,  's  Response
Dear sir/ madam
Thanks for writing to HCM.
I am afraid the medical query is not clear from your narration. It seems to be more of a social concern.
Heart attack or related diseases are not communicable diseases and can not be induced by anyone into your father. I would recommend to consult a cardiologist and get him evaluated thoroughly and get a clearer picture of his health.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Take him to a cardiologist/ get him examined / and investigated...
There are several causes that can affect the heart - apart from heart attack
The treating doctor alone can suggest based on his assessment of the situation.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
