Will Medicines Help In Overcoming Weakness When Heart Functioning Is Less?

My brother's cardiologist say that his heart is functioning only 20 per cent. He has to live on medicine as his age will not permit him for either angiogram or bypass surgery or putting stints. He is 70. How he can overcome his weakness and will the heart functioning improve with medicines?
