Coronary MRI

RM Cardíaca

It is a non-invasive diagnostic test that obtains morphological and functional information about the heart and adjacent structures. This allows for the diagnosis of various congenital and acquired pathologies, or for monitoring patients with previously known pathologies. In the vast majority of cases, intravenous contrast (gadolinium) is required to complete the study. This type of contrast rarely causes adverse reactions. During the test, the technician will ask the patient to hold their breath several times for 10-15 seconds to obtain the clearest images possible. No prior preparation is required by the patient. The test lasts approximately 45–60 minutes. It is not recommended for patients with pacemakers; patients should inform the doctor if they have metal implants and/or surgical clips.
