In coronary blockades the myocardium distal to blockade suffers ischaemia and so the cells are deprived of their normal quota of oxygen in absolute terms despite general SpO2 being normal which is a percent saturation level of hemoglobin. Heart may suffer hypoxia due to blocked coronary (ischaemia) despite blood having normal saturation with oxygen.

Above 95% of SPo2 itself indicates that it's healthy level of hemoglobin carrying oxygen in the blood.

Can you please tell me the logic of this question?
I have never heard about the oxygen level of someone in the heart.
I don't know why we should think that even though his SpO2 is normal, his heart is getting less oxygen.
