Hi welcome to health care magic forum.
basal cell carcinom ausually doesnt spread but it is possible. also, i dont think that he will pass away from basal cell carcinoma. probably there will be heart failure,but it is impossible to say when. He can live for more several months or years. it is impossible to predict. you have to support his heart and kidney function as much as you can with mediucal therapy. 15%is very low ejection fraction but this is is enogh for normal circulation .
Hope I have answered your query. Wish you good health. regards
