HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate concern looking to the history given here I could say that because of the autoimmune disorders the ANA test turned positive, the ANA test some time turns positive in certain infective disease and in such condition this need to be correlated with the clinical condition, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
