Hi Their wonder why your father is not taking any antihypertensive medicine even after having a massive heart attack. Yes definitely he needs to be started on BP lowering medicines as persistently high BP can later on lead to Stroke and other cardiac issues. I would also like to get an ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY done on your father and then plan other medicines as required after assessing his LV Function. Good Luck
