Aikido and heart illness

A relative of mine is interested in picking up Aikido, mostly for exercise reasons but also because it looks fun.

However, his heart is not in the best of condition. He had a heart attack 20 years ago at a young age meaning he gave up smoking and became more mindful about food.

Recently he noticed he has had a cardiac disrhythmia which means he might have to go through a Bypass operation.

Basically what im wondering about is whether anyone have experience about training Aikido with heart problem or after a heart operation?
