Mum Rebecca, 44, spotted Billy was always out of breath when the boys played football.
He also had chest infections initially thought to be asthma.
Tests showed he had restrictive cardiomyopathy, a condition that makes the heart muscle stiff so it becomes enlarged and presses against his lungs.
Rebecca, who lives with the twins’ dad Gavin in Cardiff, said: “Tommy is like a protector.
"When he came to Great Ormond Street Hospital for the first time he sat with his arm on his brother’s chair and said, ‘I’ll look after him’.
“He loves to hug Billy and always wants to Facetime him when he’s away. They do argue at times but are very close.”
