I'm trying to understand the results of a recent angiogram and I'd love some clarity. It mentions a right femoral arterial approach with a normal LMCA, but there's a 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD and a 50% stenosis distally in the LCX. It also says the OM has a 90% stenosis in a small vessel, and the RCA has a 40% stenosis proximally. The renal angiogram shows everything is normal for both kidneys. My biggest worry is about the critical stenosis in the LAD. What does all this mean for my heart health, and what kind of treatment or lifestyle changes should I be considering?

I'm experiencing heart palpitations for the past nine months and have been feeling uneasiness on the left side of my rib cage for the last 34 days.

Got some concerns that've been bothering me. I had palpitations on Feb 1st when I was at work and the doctor checked out my reports like ECG, 2DEcho, TMT, and said it's not a heart problem. But since yesterday, I've had a fever and my right ankle's swollen and painful. I went out on my bike today, and just after starting, felt like I had some breathing trouble. Should I be looking into any more tests? I read somewhere that swollen ankles and fever might cause heart issues. What do you think?

renal function tests, pulmonary function tests are advised...
