Hello Balasubramanyam, Cardiac diseases like LVD cannot be pin pointed to any specific cause. As you have mentioned that stent was placed, I would assume LVD was secondary to blockade of coronary arteries that is called as myocardial infarction. Blockade of coronary arteries occur due to a condition called atherosclerosis. Atheroscelrosis has many risk factors. Some of them are non modifiable like family history, genetics. Many are modifiable like sedentary lifestyle, unbalanced diet, smoking and others. I would recommend you to address the modifiable risk factors. Sitting is compared nowadays to another form of smoking. So avoid sitting for long periods. Take short walking breaks in between. Have a balanced diet. Take the medications according to the prescription. I hope the above information helps you. Thanks.
