Comprehensive cardiac MRI services to visualise and assess heart health with precision.
Cardiac MRI is an imaging technology that detects and confirms the diagnosis of heart conditions. Regular imaging plays a vital role in preventing sudden cardiac death by detecting the early stages of underlying cardiac diseases such as cardiomyopathy.
A Cardiac MRI is a safe and painless scan that takes images of your heart and blood vessels. From these detailed images, your consultant can detect and diagnose any conditions.
Before your Cardiac MRI, you should share any medical history with the team and let them know if you have any metal in your body. At the scan, you must remove electronics and debit cards from your pockets and remove belts, jewellery, piercings, watches, and hearing aids.
You’ll lie on a bed that moves inside a tunnel-shaped scanner. You must lie very still during the scan, which can last up to 90 minutes. The scanner is quite noisy, and you can wear earplugs to listen to music.
If you have an exercise test, we will inject you with a medicine called adenosine to stimulate the exercise effort. You may feel short of breath during this short time, but this feeling will wear off when you stop the drip.
There is a risk of having an allergic reaction to the contrast agent. Let the medical team know if you have experienced allergies with the agent before.
You should be able to go home after the Cardiac MRI. However, if you have had a sedative, you should arrange transport home as you won’t be able to drive. If you have had a contrast agent, drink plenty of water for 24 hours.
