Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM. I read your question carefully and I think you don't have to be worried because in your case, the most serious health problems that may increase D-Dimer levels are excluded. As your cardiac enzymes and your ECG did not show any new modifications this means that you were not suffering a myocardium
infarction. Angio CT of the chest is the gold standard for diagnosing
pulmonary thromboembolism, which in your case came out to be normal. Also the rise of the D-Dimer level is not so significant to indicate serious diseases.
A
venous thromboembolism (VTE) is also a cause of high D-Dimer levels , but it can be excluded by the lack of symptoms suggestive for it and low increase of D- Dimer level. (Usually is significant for levels above 1)
A more possible cause in your case may be a systemic disease such as reumatological disease or infection.
Eventhough , what to do next ?
If I were your doctor , I should advice you to check D-Dimer level in blood after 1 week.
Hope this is helpful.
