recent stress test diagnosis

I am 61, female, had a stress test & reported diagnosis is "moderate inferior ischemia".  What is the explanation (definition) of this diagnosis and what are most common treatment options/choices?

Ischemia indicates a lack of blood supply.  Your report states "moderate" blockage to the front side of the heart.  Usually occlusions are classified in a percentage of blockage of a coronary vessel according to the American Heart Assoc.  Occluded 70% and above may require intervention or medication for chest pain (angina). The intervention can be a stent or a bypass if medication and/o a stent implant is not practical due to size and/or location.

Mild, moderate, severe are classifications of valve regurgitation?!

Thank you for the question, and if you have any follow up questions you are welcome to ask.  Take care.
