hello,i have gone through your question,Thanks for using HCM.well if your stress imaging was normal then you should not be worried about the widow making artery...As such I need exact reports of your ECG,stress test and radionuclide test to give you proper guidance.But i presume that you may have some atypical symptoms and borderline ECG findings that might have led to suspicion of blocks,but since you have undergone more definitive test which has ruled out possibility of major block.so dont worry and follow healthy life style
My best wishes
