Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Since you have a blockage in one of your coronary arteries you may experience problems in the future. This is why it's essential to treat properly with medical therapy and healthy life style.

Therapy, diet and healthy lifestyle may help to prevent future risk and contribute to long life.

However, it all depends on angiography results. Can you upload the angiography results?

Wish you health!
