I think you can't get rid of cardiac ischemia.
Typical signs and symptoms of cardiac ischemia include:
Chest pain (angina pectoris) , Neck or jaw pain , Arm pain , Clammy skin , Shortness of breath , Nausea and vomiting , In some people, especially those with diabetes, cardiac ischemia may cause no signs or symptoms.
A doctor may make a diagnosis of cardiac ischemia based on:
Medical history , Physical examination , Electrocardiogram, Stress test , X-rays of coronary arteries (coronary angiogram)
Treatment is directed at improving blood flow to the heart muscle and may include:
Medication such as aspirin, beta blockers and nitrates. During a heart attack, thrombolytic agents, or "clot busters," may be used.
Angioplasty or stent placement (percutaneous coronary intervention, or PCI).
Coronary artery bypass surgery.
Exercise may improve blood flow to the heart muscle after the condition is stabilized.

Ischemia means there is a reduced supply of oxygen to the tissues, and in your case, you have a reduced oxygen supply in a specific area of your heart. Oxygen is vital in the survival of all the tissues of our body. Its absence will lead to tissue death.
Ischemia can affect small areas or even large areas of the heart. Ischemia per se is not very dangerous, but when the tissues continue to experience lack or reduced oxygen supply, the ischemia can lead to tissue infarct/tissue death. Imagine when the heart muscles die, it cannot pump blood anymore and may not even supply its own oxygen needs. This condition is what we refer to as heart attack. The larger the ischemia experienced by an individual, the higher the risk of having tissue infarct and eventually having a heart attack.

Ischemia means dying tissue due to lack of oxygenation. You can't get rid of it. I am assuming you are male, and that other people in your family (probably also male) have had similar cardiac issues. You will probably always have issues with your heart, and increased cardiac demand will further jeopardize your condition.
I am guessing that a change of lifestyle is your only path not leading to "the big one".

ischemia (oftheart) is a condtion charactrised by reduced blood supply to the heart muscles It can lead to heart attacks (myocardial infract) which can be lethal
