Could The Elevated Blood Enzymes Mean The Chances Of Stroke?

I was recently admitted to hospital with SVT 192 bpm, also bad chest pains, I suffer with Prinz-metals Angina. Blood test AFTER 12 HOURS indicated raised blood enzymes, does this mean I have had a heat attack. heart rate returned to 150 bpm after apporx 90 mins, and 10 mil of morphine, dropping further to 107 bpm after a further 20 mins. It then remained at 107 for approx 3 hours when it returned to normal. Doctors were vague to say the least and gave conflicting opinions as to whether or not I had actually suffered a heart attack. one doctor said there was a "small injury" to the heart muscle, whilst another stated it was only "marked". I still do not know whether or not I have actually had a heart attack or a severe angina attack. I was discharged after three days with blood thinning drugs and an appointment to return in six months to see the consultant ,if it does not happen again. Your thoughts and opinions would be most welcome. Thank you for your time.

Hi
Thanks for consulting us.
You did not mention ECG changes and magnitude of enzyme levels. Your description indicates that it was subtle Attack,not involving the whole thickness and subsided quickly. We call it unstable angina and it is associated with increased risk of further events.You take the medication prescribed, control diabetes, walk regularly,treat hyperlipidemia with station.You must have been prescribed this.
I recommend you to angiogram with a plan to stent placement.
Hope you are satisfied.
