Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Blockage of epicardial coronary vessels in excess of 60% will result, under
conditions of increases myocardial oxygen demand, in reduced perfusion and in turn ischemia. When the severity of the blockage is greater than 90%, perfusion is compromised even at rest.He should undergo revascualrisation surgery
