I was referred for CT Angio and I have been diagnosed as under:-
a.   LMS. Bifurcating and Normal.
b.   LAD. Subcritical disease at mid course. D1 has spotty calcium at its ostium. D2 has moderate osteal disease.
c.  LCx.   Non-dominant vessel. Unobstructive.
d.  RCA. Dominant Vessel and Normal
Diagnosis by Cardiologist.   Subcritical LAD with moderate D2 disease.

Please suggest what should I do.

Get a 2D Echo done and find out the EF%. This will show the pumping capacity of the heart.

The first thing I have to say is that the terminology used in the report doesn't really help to establish the severity of the problem. I mean, what exactly does "subcritical'  really mean?  Critical is usually classed as 70% or greater, so we could guess and say it means less than 70%, but this still leaves the possibility of 1-69%, which is of course a HUGE range. The same with moderate, it could be many numbers and we are left guessing. I think if anyone got a copy of this report, they wouldn't know anything, only the cardiologist who wrote it.
Secondly, it's now time for some serious lifestyle changes, regardless of the blockage sizes. You need to ensure your blood pressure is normal most of the time, which could require medication. You need to ensure your cholesterol levels are within limits laid down by heart foundations, your Doctor will know what they are and can organise a blood test. You need to eat healthy foods, lots of fruit/veg and cut down on red meat and saturated fats. You need to exercise regularly. You need to avoid emotional stress both at work and home as much as possible. If you smoke, you need to stop. If you drink lots of alcohol, you need to cut back. A few changes, but worth it in the long term.
