Keep us posted and I hope it's just super minor!!!
I suspect that the vet meant "low level" or mild heart disease. I know that high hematocrit in humans can be a symptom of heart disease--the body makes more red blood cells to compensate for reduced blood flow. Definitely some questions to ask the vet. I hope the retest comes back better!
