Risk: you need to not smoke, eat a Mediterranean diet, get regular aerobic exercise daily, keep your bp controlled, and watch out for other risk factors. If you do these things you'll minimize your chances of vascular problems developing

Arterial blockage: a "normal" stress test does not mean an absence of partial blockage, so yes you could still develop plaque fracture/rupture with a secondary clot and occlusion. A negative stress test does not unfortunately confer immortality! ongoing or newly evolving symptoms MUST always be thoroughly investigated
