Talk to your doctor : You have to quit smoking! Start an exercise program and a diet under your doctor's supervision. Get your cholesterol checked. There are several things you can do to help reverse this. You may want to ask your doctor about taking a baby aspirin. You may need a cholesterol lowering drug. Keep your blood pressure under control. Minitor your bood sugar. Stop smoking is a must!

Prevention is key: Since you already have known disease, prevention is key. Weight loss through dietary changes, exercise. Have a controlled blood pressure and cholesterol panel. Have you had a recent cardiac stress test? If you are diabetic make sure your A1c is also below 7%. It's hard to predict what your coronary artery blockage is today if none of these factors have been controlled.

No way to know: without another cath. Start by walking at least 20 minutes a day ever day. Switch to a diet of mostly plant based proteins. Avoid ALL refined sugars and processed starchy foods. Avoid all carbonated beverages and sports drinks. Your goal is to eat an anti-inflammatory diet. Get your weight down to a normal BMI. The blockages result from highly inflamed arteries that your body is trying to seal off
