I am 53 years old , diagnosed with mIld CAD 2 years ago by CT angiogram. I am asymptomatic and take a daily statin and aspirin. I am otherwise fit and healthy.

Am I in the at risk group and should I be working front line in the NHS ?

Thank you , I have read that and other stuff on NHS employers website but I am really fit and healthy and have no symptoms so feel I am able to help my colleagues. I also have a strong FH of sudden cardiac MI death ! below the age of 56 yrs !!
