Hi,
The cause of heart attack is narrowing and blockage of a coronary arteries which are vessels distributing blood to heart muscle.
For prevention and treatment your father should
1. follow healthy lifestyle; not smoke, don't drink alcohol much, restrict animal fat, eat more fish, lose weight if overweight
2. exercise at least 3 times per week
3. follow his doctor's prescribtions
I hope I could answer to your query.
