Would someone with cardiac miopathy (sp?) be able to have surgery?

My husband is about 5'10" 315 and has a lot of health problems with the most severe being hypertension which has caused the walls of his heart to thicken so it doesn't pump nearly as much as a normal heart does. He was just diagnosed today with having high cholesterol (almost 200) and now it looks like he may be diabetic. I have tried to talk to him about surgery before and he was against it because of his heart problem. The costs of medications are so high now even with insurance copays. Would anyone know if he would be a candidate for surgery?
