From what I've heard, he has a low ejection fraction. I'm not a doctor, but I am a Cardiovascular Technologist, and know that heart failure is not what I want from my Nose Tackle. There isn't a surgery to 'fix' the issue. Most likely he needs to lose weight and control his blood pressure. However, that isn't going to restore his cardiac output. He probably needs an Internal Cardioverter-Defibrillator so he doesn't have a Hank Geathers type "Sudden Cardiac Death" - this is not a benign issue like Arian Foster's arrthymia which could be cured by a simple ablation procedure in a couple of hours.
