Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Honestly speaking, no need to worry much if your nuclear stress test report is saying good heart function.
So all depends on you nuclear stress test report.
But better to start blood thinners like aspirin and clopidogrel.
Also take low dose lipid lowering drug like rosuvastatin.
Avoid excessive salt in diet. Avoid fatty and oily food. Do regular aerobic exercise like running, cycling, swimming etc.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
No need to worry for this old anterior wall ischemia.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
