Hi i read your query very carefully.
The level of blockage in mid LCX is 70% so the best thing to deal with eat is stenting to prevent myocardial infarction and it's complications.
Even if your father is asymptomatic this doesn't exclude ischemic heart disease because there are a lot of cases of silent ischemia or infarction.
Hope it was of help!
