Low functioning and decrease in functioning of heart is caused by so many problems. It may be because of problems in endocardium of heart such as valvular heart diseases or endocarditis or may be because of diseases of myocardium such as various myopathies or may be because of pericardium involvement such as pericarditis of pericardial effusion . Apart from this if there is decreased blood supply to any part of heart because of atherosclerosis of coronary arteries then also heart will not function well.qe don't know what diagnosis he has.but if your doctor has suggested for exercise then this most probably related to diseases of arteries supplying heart.by doing regular exercise you can you heart capacity will increase and you can maintain proper weight and this will decrease blockade or atherosclerosis of coronary arteries . Hope this will help.
