Hey,
Atherosclerotic heart disease decreases your life expectancy but you can increase it again with lifestyle modifications and proper treatment.
Firstly if their is disease present in ct than you have to get a coronary angiography done as soon as possible which will decide the further course of treatment. Than you have to change your lifestyle
1) Quit smoking if you smoke
2) Exercise for at least half hour per day
3) Avoid red meat and other sources of fat
These all together will again make you better and increase your life expectancy.
Wishing you good health
