Hi There
First of all don't worry he will be alright if stress test comes out to be normal then the consulting doctor can advise him to go for an Angiogram as smoking is a big risk factor for ischeamic heart disease and triplets could be an indication for ischeamia. So if that also comes to be normal it's advisable to start him no low dose BETA BLOCKERS. That will take care of the triplets.
Most importantly he needs to stop smoking completely.
I wish him Good Health
