Cardiac MRI

Comprehensive cardiac MRI providing detailed assessment of heart structure, function, and tissue characterisation. Evaluates myocardial viability, cardiomyopathies, and valvular disease.

Cardiac MRI at Bader-MR uses ECG-gated cine sequences to capture the heart in motion, enabling precise measurement of ventricular volumes, ejection fraction, and wall motion abnormalities across all myocardial segments. The examination includes late gadolinium enhancement for myocardial fibrosis and scar assessment. At EUR 650 including contrast, this is the practice's most specialised cardiac examination. It provides information that cannot be obtained from echocardiography alone, including tissue characterisation that distinguishes ischaemic from non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, detects myocarditis, and evaluates infiltrative diseases such as cardiac sarcoidosis and amyloidosis. The examination is commonly requested by cardiologists for pre-procedural planning, by patients with unexplained heart failure or arrhythmia, and as follow-up after myocardial infarction to assess residual viability.
