My father is 66 years old, already have 2 times cerebral attack ,first attack was major before 6 years ago and second was minor. So he has now a major problem i.e hernia .It is also 7-8 years old case and now it is too big that need an OT immediately .But everyone said it's risky for him coz his heart pumping rate is only 38%.So please suggest. And one more thing the local Surgeon first said that before 5 days he need to stop Ecosprin medicine but now doctor says no need to stop for operation. So is it ok that at the operation period he takes ecosprin?(Ecosprin 75) isn't it risky for operation? please suggest.

Yes you should stop tablet ecosprin for 5 days prior to surgery. And you should also get a stress echo or stress thallium done prior to surgery to check if there is any significant blockage in your heart arteries and to prevent & predict any heart related complication during a planned surgery.
