Cardiovascular diseases continue to represent a major health and mortality problem in Romania, being responsible for approximately 60% of the total number of deaths at national level. However, a correct diagnosis and effective treatment increase life expectancy.
In the Doctor Med Clinic, state-of-the-art equipment is used to offer patients cardiovascular imaging services at European standards. Cardiac (cardiac) MRI allows in-depth exploration of all aspects of cardiac function, depending on the diagnostic suspicion.
The MRI investigation is revolutionary in that it obtains real-time, high-frequency moving images and allows volumetric scanning, obtaining the most accurate data. It should be emphasized that the right ventricle, which has a rather complicated shape, cannot be fully evaluated by other visualization methods.
The correct reception and rendering of data representing the function of the heart is very important in many conditions, especially in myocardial infarction and myocarditis, as this data leads to the establishment of the diagnosis and related treatment.
Cardiac MRI is indicated exclusively after the previous echocardiographic investigation and requires the administration of the contrast substance to highlight subtle changes.
It is used in the diagnosis of a wide range of conditions:
ischemic heart diseases (myocardial infarction, sequelae) nonischemic cardiomyopathies (myocarditis, myocardial hypertrophy) congenital heart diseases systemic diseases (sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, hemochromatosis) pericardial diseases (pericarditis) heart tumors athletic heart.
How long does a Cardiac MRI scan take?
Being a more sophisticated MRI examination, but also in order for the resulting images to be as clear as possible and free of movement artifacts, it is a more laborious examination for the patient and takes longer.
The heart does not stop so that it is statically surprised, so acquisitions will be made when the patient holds an apnea for 10-20 seconds, because the heartbeat slows down during this time.
In total, the Cardiac MRI examination takes about 45-60 minutes, depending on the cooperation of the patient, because where the sequences are not clear enough, they will have to be repeated.
