D dimer 1600. incr sed/crp. elevated myoglobin (119) norm tropinin. ck norm 72 hr after chest pain.echo done.. does the echo r/o heart attack?

Suggest: Echocardiogram can suggest myocardial damage if the heart attack is severe. Ecg, cardiac enzymes(such as tropinins) and symptoms are the points that rules in or out a heart attack. Elevated d-dimer suggests blood clots though very non specific including pulmonary embolism.

Yes: Did they r/ o. Blood clot if yes then ech would help to make sure no damage to heart which does not seem the case anyway.
