Hi. Age related calcium deposits in arteries and aortic valve are common and seen in many people specially after the age of 60 years. Such people tend to have more likelihood of similar changes in arterial wall in other places like heart arteries and so on.
If he doesn't have any symptoms there's is nothing to worry.
But whenever feasible for you and once he completely recovers from post covid issues you can get a comprehensive cardiac check up appropriate for his age, like ECG, Echo and TMT if possible
