What's mean mild coronary artery disease involving the left anterior descending and the right coronary artery? it's something to worry? heart attack?

Mild CAD: Mild coronary disease means mild plaque/cholesterol build up in the coronaries with causing significant impairment in flow of blood. Prevention of progression with medications and lifestyle changes e.g. Smoking cessation would be recommended.

MDs visual judgement: I would be quite wary of the assessment, likely based on a coronary angiogram. Get a copy of all the images, on a cdrom from hospital, &closely examine yourself. Do not settle for someone else's interpretation, its not their body/heart. Any narrowing (stenosis) means advanced atherosclerosis with previous plaque ruptures; clots which have fibrosed/not-cleared; narrowed the opening of the artery.
