It often indicates that there are areas of your heart that are not receiving enough blood.  This is often due to a blockage in of the arteries around your heart.  If you have symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, etc. or decreased heart function, a left heart cath is often done to determine where the blockage is and decide if and how to fix it.  This link has patient directed information on left heart catheterizations and stenting.
