Hi There
After going through your query I understand your conern.
Yes, it is dangerous to have blocakge of more than 90% in two arteries and can be fetal. If left untreated it can cause another heart attack or sudden cardiac death.
Kindly talk to you cardiologist about angioplasty or CABG whatever is best suitable for him and get it done .
Hope this will help
Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Mahajan
