Hi, From history it seems that your husband might be having some vascular insufficiency leading to some coronary vessel block giving rise to poor cardiac function. Consult cardiologist and get him investigated. Angiography and Echo test will give important information about his problem. After investigations, plan of treatment can be decided. Ok and take care.
