Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I understand your concern.I will try to explain and give you my opinion.

First of all , it is a very good thing that you have resolved the problem whith main arteryes.
You should know that during first 6 month it is a risk for stent stenosis.So it is mandatory to make regular control after 1,3 and 6 months.

For the future your only duty is to fight and controll what we call carfiovascular risk faktors.
This factors are Hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol levels, smoking.

So if you are hypertensive you should try to keep your blood pressure below 140 / 90.If you see excessive values you should meet your doctor to change therapy.

You should keep normal glicemic values if you are diabetic.You should not smoke and the most importat one you should keep your cholesterol as low as possible.
Your LDL cholesterol levels should be below 70 mg/dl. You are under treatment know and you should always take the medicine and keep a healthy diet.
It is essential to eat as much fibre, vegetables and avoid high cholesterol food, fast food, pizzas, sweeties.
It is recommended to have regullar physical activity lime walking around 30-40 minutes a day.

Hope I was helpfull.
Best regards
