Cardiac MRI – the most detailed insight into the work of your heart

Cardiac MRI (magnetic resonance imaging of the heart) is a modern imaging method that provides a very precise view of the heart muscle, valves, and major blood vessels. The examination does not use ionizing radiation, so it is safe even for repeated imaging. In addition to anatomy, cardiac MRI also provides information about heart function, blood flow, and any possible tissue changes.

When is cardiac MRI recommended?

This examination is often performed in cases of:

• suspected inflammatory heart conditions (myocarditis, pericarditis)
• assessment of the consequences of a heart attack
• evaluation of congenital heart anomalies
• diagnosis of cardiomyopathies
• analysis of tumorous or other rare changes

Cardiac MRI can help in making decisions about the method of treatment and in monitoring the success of therapy.

What does a cardiac MRI examination look like?

During the examination, you lie still inside the MRI machine, and the imaging takes approximately 45–60 minutes. At certain moments, you will need to hold your breath for a few seconds in order to obtain the clearest possible image. A contrast agent is often used to help distinguish between healthy and damaged tissue.
