Hi,
You need a heart cath badly, as you are almost 80% blocked, anything above 50% is considered to be unhealthy for any person. And on the left side its almost completely blocked, only having two percent open is very very dangerous.

How long have you been off heroin? Based on that there is a chance that they may reconsider and treat you. The only other option you have is to go to another hospital. But you need treatment soon, cause your current situation is very dangerous.

I hope this answered your question.
