  5. I'm really worried about the results from my ECG which said something about provocable myocardial ischemia, but I haven't had any cardiac symptoms of IHD. I'm only 48 years old and I'm not sure what this means for my heart health. Should I be concerned or do anything specific to address this?

It sounds like you have a positive exercise tolerance test (ITT) for provocable myocardial ischemia without any cardiac symptoms for ischemic heart disease (IHD) at the age of 48. In this case, you may benefit from starting a medication like Atenolol (50-100mg daily) to help reduce the workload on your heart and prevent further episodes of ischemia. Additionally, adding a medication like Aspirin (75-150mg daily) can help reduce the risk of blood clot formation in your coronary arteries. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
