Image for Cardiac Stress MRI

Cardiac Stress MRI

Cardiac stress MRI is an advanced imaging technique used to assess the heart's function and blood flow, especially during physical stress. During the procedure, a patient may either exercise on a treadmill or receive medication that simulates exercise, while a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine captures detailed images of the heart. This helps doctors evaluate how well the heart works under stress, revealing any areas with reduced blood flow or potential damage. It’s a non-invasive method that provides valuable information for diagnosing heart conditions and guiding treatment.
