Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

A block 70 % or more is significant and needs intervention.
The episodes may be warning signs of impending heart attacks...
The other two blocks also need early attention...
You have not stated your personal habits, family history, or co-morbidities,...which could have an influence on the diagnosis and outcome...
Discuss with your doctor...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
