What Causes Bruise On Left Side Of Back After Having A Mild Heart Attack?

My father just suffered a mild heart attack. He is 85 and has hep c. He has had bypass surgery years ago. He is at home and recovering. We just noticed that he had bad bruising on his left side from his back to the front. Should we be concerned. There is no fever also or hardness to breath.
