I have a 22 year (age 51) history of a diffuse connective tissue disease - somewhat like lupus. I was hospitalized two weeks ago for a first time (low positive) troponin level of 0.07 and chest pain. Follow up echo showed a low "LA diam" of 2 cm and hyperdynamic LV function with an estimated EF of 70%. Are these echo findings anything to worry about? These are new findings from 2 years ago. I also have a borderline mitral valve prolapse, trace mitral and trace to mild tricuspid regurge. Normal pulmonary pressure, normal atrial size. Cardiac stress test (without contrast) was "clinically positive" for induced symptoms of ischemia, all leads showing 1 mm rapidly upsloping ST segment depression.
Thanks
