the dude has signs of wet beriberi due to chronic thiamine deficiency due to alchol consumption.. all those red wines that he takes daily.. that has caused him to have the heart failure shown by the low ejection fraction.. and coronary arteries have no evidence of atherosclerosis so exercise and other stuff causing protection from atherosclerosis are not much needed right now.. so stop alcohol is the correct option..
