Heart Failure impact to multy orgams systems like Lungs failure,brain failure,Pulmo failure and etc... so your friends be alerts because he may die any time. the way to protect him you have tell doctor or ask doctor have long he can live. I suggest you pray to God for his safety and his life. It just my suggestion. God bless you, your friends and tour families.

The answers above are pretty much on. He could get a heart transplant, which sounds bad but at his age, he is probably in better shape than the older men .Good luck and God bless.
