Missing a single dose will not make much adverse results but totally stopping it might worsen the underlying disease.

If he has a stent better to take regularly. If he doesn't have a stent, take for few months after a heart attack, if no previous attack, he doesn't require it, so better to collect more information on risks and benefits.
