Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Few tests needs to be done before operation to know fitness for surgery.
As he is having congestive heart failure, which needs emergency treatment. Test need to be done for monitoring of his condition, weather your father responding to treatment or not.
You need to give moral support to your father. Surgery for inguinal hernia can be done in later days once your father improves. Not to worry.discuss with his treating doctor regarding investigation need and use.
Hope this helps you
