What Does This Echo Test Result While Suffering From Diffuse Scleroderma Indicate?

Hi, I am a 60 year-old female who has annual dopper echos as I have diffuse scleroderma. My LAVI Range was moderately abnormal last year, and this year it is severely abnormal. All other items on the report appear normal and I have no heart-related symptoms. What is the significance of severly abnormal LAVI Range in the absence of other issues?
