I wouldn't concern yourself with kundalini spikes if I were you, they are extremely rare and can mess up many aspects of the body. But from what you've said there is no evidence he is in any danger. The hot cold energy sensations are probably just his bodies reaction to the energies he is drawing in, ie thats what energy flows can feel like to some people. Where is he feeling the sensations? I saw NEW on!
But to answer your question no, I dont know of any way to actively suppress any energy phenomenon in the long run apart from staying grounded and not doing energy or spiritual work. However, especially in the case of someone with a bad heart, any possible risks are vastly outweighed by the positive benefits.

He had the hot-cold energy surges up and down his spine a couple of years ago during a time of extreme emotional stress (good and bad). The only energy rushes he experiences now are more normal adrenaline-type sensations, as far as I know.
I know kundalini spikes are extremely rare, but this is also a person I would consider spritually advanced, at least moreso than your average joe so I want to be extra careful that he doesn't trigger anything.
It seems like poor health should not have to exclude a person from doing energy work--I wish there was some way to be sure he'd be safe.

There's a great deal of misinformation and hearsay regarding kundalini. I doubt it could cause a heart attack unless you had a particularly weak heart.
Suggest doing a search for posts by Robert Bruce with the keywords kundalini, and allow the search to go back 2-3 years. He's posted a fair bit of very good information on the topic.
It is unfortunate that poor health can exlude people from doing energy work, but when you consider that the energy body and physical body are so very closely linked, in order for one to be healthy, the other also needs to be healthy.

Ah no wait, yes ok, got you.
I have a friend who claims to have experienced a continuous hot/cold rushing sensation and that it is quite something when fully active, but I am still not sure what it really is.
I spoke to RB and he said that these were heavy primary center energy sensation (I think) and not truly kundalini, but from the literature on the area a lot of people think it is. Honestly, it may be kundalini related but then again, it may not. I dont think you will find much by RB on these forums talking about the sensations you described because he doesn't think its the big K.
Personally I am inclined to side with RB and say that since I trust him fully and his experience was so utterly extreme, more watered down versions of kundalini are probably not really kundalini. Premature kundalini tends to occur as sudden spikes up the spine - like short circuit dicharging, if you like, and this can be quite dangerous (pretty well documented too). Is that what you meant by "accompany a surge"? If so I am not aware of that connection.
However that is not to say that the hot/cold rushing thing is definately safe, but I have heard only minimal stories about the possible detrimental effects and, as such, cant put too much stock in them. IMO this sensation is still an indactor of heavy energy movement related to above average spiritual status, and is something which needs more exploration (although perhaps not by your friend!!).
Still, I stick to my original thought which is that he is not in danger and that continued energy work is infintely more likely to help than hinder him.

If you are practicing NEW, is there a way to keep Kundalini from rising? I know it's unlikely, but it does happen occasionally. I'm worried about a person with a bad heart who has experienced the hot-cold energy sensations that can accompany a kundalini surge. Many people say that a kundalini raising can accelerate your heartbeat dangerously, and one person even said that it could possibly kill someone with a weak heart.
He isn't getting energy surges right now and hasn't had the heart problems for a few years, but I worry that they could return. Should he stop practicing NEW, or can he do it safely?
