This is not a normal human condition. This means you have atherosclerosis in several of you heart arteries and likely elsewhere. This is most likely related to smoking/HBP/lipids/ and genes, but mostly by feeding/exercising your genes wrong. This can be stopped by statins and moving to the Ornish diet which may reverse it. If you have no symptoms do those as if your life depended on it.
