MI: Depending on symptoms there may be conservative or invasive management chosen. Ranging from just medications or procedures. And also some dietary changes to prevent further issues.

Seek 2 opinions: One option might be by a cardiologist treating medically to thin the blood and prevent clots. They also might stretch open the blocked artery with angioplasty. 2nd opinion is valuable from a chest surgeon- to see if you might benefit from surgical bypass to bring new blood flow to the locations at risk.
