Hi Sir/Mam,
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concern.
Ischemia in your case is suggestive of block in the vessel.
Coronary angiogram will be needed in your case to know the site ,vessel and the extent of block.
Depending on the block ,Coronary angioplasty can be planned.
Drugs like Antiplatelets ,Anti hypertensives,lipid lowering drugs will be helpful.
I advise you to consult cardiologist for expert management.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
