HI
Thanks for posting your query.
The EKG suggests that some part of your heart ( INFEROPOSTERIOR part ) has got damaged due to low blood flow to that particular region. This damage is the cause for your Angina .
Kindly go ahead with the Angiography which will detect which blood vessels is blocked and to what degree. Also simultaneously that blockage can be cleared also.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
