Brief Answer:
Visit a cardiologist.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through the report (although a direct look on the ECG would have given a better impression). Ischemia means that the blood supply to the heart is getting compromised. Certain medicines like bisoprolol (cardioselective beta blocker) may help in providing relief. Visit a cardiologist and let him prescribe suitable medines. If it still does not help and if she has chest pains, angiography and angioplasty might be needed.
