Please refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hello
After going through the reports attached by you I can understand your concern and I would like to tell you that 70% of proximal LAD stenosis is a significant disease and there is at risk of getting heart attack if there is a progression of the disease.
Now taking into consideration your young age and and evidence of having a 70% lesion there are possibilities that the disease progresses rate can be substantial.
Leaving this condition just on medical treatment is not recommended. So yes it’s important to get an angioplasty done as soon possible and till the time it’s done do not indulge yourself in significant physical activity.
I hope this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
