Brief Answer:
No Need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your query. But to assess prognostic factors, current heart status should be know. Since you report to have silent heart attack now, I would have suggested an angiogram to know the exact status.
However, I would say that if you are on medications, I suggest you really need not worry.
Keep taking the medicines. Best of luck,
Dr Mittal
