Hello,
First cause for this should be treated like angiography followed by Stenting or bypass. Secondly, regular medicine and follow up, which you must be doing. You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week.
Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, and avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Thirdly the patient if less than 30 are advised for ICD or CRT device which is life saving in multiple patients, so you should discuss these issues with your cardiologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sagar Makode
