Hello, sorry to hear of your dad's poor health.
From my past experience with patients that have suffered multiple cardiac attacks with a concomitant disease, I can not say for sure this is the exact time he has, but the prognosis is not good in his case. I will say a maximum of a year or two. Best regards
