If you have inducibe ischemia, it means you have coronay heart disease. It is narrowing or blockage of coronary artery/arteries which can lead to heart attack in case it is not treated.
Therefore you should receive specific treatment for it, which includes B blockers, aspirin and statins.
Also you can discuss about angiography with your doctor.
Have a good health
