A cardiac MRI stress test helps to check how well your heart copes with extra strain, and how blood flows through your heart. With detailed results, you can feel confident in your cardiac health and know what to do next.
A stress cardiac MRI is done after exercising on a treadmill or using a drug called adenosine to make the heart work harder. This helps doctors see how the heart functions under stress, aiding in diagnosing coronary artery disease.
An MRI stress test looks at how well blood flows to your heart when it is working harder, either through light exercise or medication that mimics exercise.
It combines detailed MRI imaging with a controlled stress response to show how your heart performs under pressure, not just at rest.
The scan can help identify reduced blood flow, early signs of coronary artery disease, or areas of the heart that are not getting enough oxygen.
It is often recommended if you have chest pain, breathlessness, a family history of heart disease, or unclear results from other heart tests.
If you don't know if an MRI stress test is the right scan for you, book a no-obligation clinician consultation to discuss your options.
