Brief Answer:
Angioplasty is strongly indicated.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
I understand your concern and gone through all your reports.
Stenosis of 70% in the proximal zone of LCx is quite a good indicator of the requirement of angioplasty.
Proximal stenosis in the LCx is have to better treated with angioplasty than medicines,especially in the zone of elevated blood pressure.
PTCA is the definitive option you need to go for.
Medicines will not suffice.
Thank you.
