This sounds like Afib. Most likely from a damaged heart. He needs a thorough workup to find out the true function of his heart and possibly put into cardiac rehab for several months.
What has he done or had done to prevent another heart attack? Statins won’t clear out any blockages. He’ll need a stent or by-pass most probably. And then followed carefully by a good cardiologist who knows what he is doing.

There are some that suggest that stents act like tomato stakes, eventually closing the pathway again.

I had that afib after my 5 bypass surgery 9 years ago. It is no fun, but mine is controlled with medication. I will be 71 next month and feel great and hold down a full time job. I get plenty of exercise.

Depending on the artery that was involved, that probably was the cause. Chances are he got stents placed when he had his heart attack. Best bet is a cardioversion at this point, along with an anti-arrythmics. If that doesn't work an ablation would be in order.
