Hi,
SGPT and SGOT can be elevated after heart attack or heart failure. Hepatitis should be ruled out as well.
In case there is no hepatitis and alcohol dependent liver problems, SGPT and SGOT levels will decrease gradually as his heart condition normalized.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
