Dog with heart conditions can have surgery safely. Go to another vet. A neuter does not take very long and todays anesthetics are very safe. Him peeing all over you house and running the risk of accidentally breeding with a heart condition is owrse.
See another vet and get it neutered. Then get to some good training classes!!!!!

He's marking territory indoors because he's not fixed, so he has the urge to mark his territory and let other males know that he's around. I understand that it's difficult to break that habit once its starts, so it's probably best to get him neutered as soon as possible.

SCOLDING HIM AND SWATTING HIM WITH A NEWSPAPER MAY HELP-THERE IS A SPRAY YOU CAN GET AND SPRAY THE AREAS HE HAS ALREADY MARKED TO HELP DEFER HIM DOING IT AGAIN.
