Unfortunately, he is going to need more then just a vitamin or supplement. Just based on history, and no physical exam or blood work, his heart score and framingham score are well above the index for heart attack and major adverse coronary event. He has about a 50-60% of a heart attack or major coronary event to happen within the next 10 years. You should bring him to the emergency room immediately so they can help modify his risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, sleep apnea, and obesity. Once it gets to this point, vitamins or supplements wont control the current problem - he will need coronary intervention or medications.
