No: Whether it's "defensive medicine" or "just being super-careful", a robot's reading of "borderline ekg" has prompted a check for myocardial damage (mi's not realistic, but myocarditis is a remote possibility). If you feel as fit as usual, i'd be surprised if it's elevated. Assuming it comes back normal, relax.

May be a problem: Why did you have an ekg? Symptoms or screening before surgery? Flat t waves indicate a potential problem. You may require an echocardiogram and stress test. I would not start an evaluation with just a serum troponin, although it can indicate cardiac pathology. Are you seeing a cardiologist?
