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've been having these mild chest pains on my left side, and it's been going on for a while now. I've seen doctors a couple of times and even did an ECG, but everything came back normal. The pain isn't super intense or frequent, but it pops up every couple of days, and its got me a bit worried. Could this be related to my heart, or could there be something else behind it? What kind of tests should I ask for to figure out whats causing it?
