Hi Sir,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
I understand your query and concern.
There is chance of restenosis of same vessel or involvement of other two vessels RCA or Circumflex artery.
So I advise you to get an ECG,2D Echo,lipid profile of heart immediately to rule out the above.
Drugs like clopilet and ecosprin are mandate in your case.
Regular monitoring of blkood pressure and heart rate is helpful.
Coronary angiogram with or without stenting will be the procedure of choice.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
