Cardiac (heart) MRI is one of the most advanced imaging techniques for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases.
It is a safe, non-invasive imaging test that provides high-definition images of the heart and chest vessels.
The primary indications for a Cardiac MRI include:
- Cardiac structure and cardiac function assessment .
- Heart failure investigation.
- Myocarditis and pericarditis (inflammation of the heart and pericardium).
- Cardiomyopathies (e.g. hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, etc.).
- Myocardial fibrosis or scarring detection.
- Heart valve diseases.
- Congenital heart diseases (birth heart defects).
- Diagnosis and monitoring of thoracic aortic aneurysms.
