Stress CMR

Stress Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (Stress CMR) is a non-invasive imaging test used to evaluate blood flow and heart function during physical or medication-induced stress. It helps identify areas of the heart muscle that may not be receiving enough blood due to blockages in the coronary arteries. The procedure involves taking detailed MRI images before, during, and after stress is applied, allowing doctors to assess how well the heart responds under increased workload. Stress CMR is valuable for diagnosing coronary artery disease, guiding treatment decisions, and assessing heart health without exposing patients to radiation.
