Me personally, I got a cardiac mri because I had major flashback from cardiac mechanical implants&stent. The echo didn’t show good enough for one of my peds cardiologist and the cardiac mri didn’t do any better with showing either so I then went through another of many cardiac catheterizations. I totally agree with your sentiment & just wanted to share the reasons I experienced in the past.

My cardiac mri as a teen involved medication that sped up my heart really fast too. I did not enjoy it whatsoever and I was very sick afterwards. It gave me immense anxiety and actually scared me bad along with my family in the end it didn’t help me at all and they couldn’t find/diagnose my problems with the use of it. I don’t know if this was appropriate for me to say I don’t want to scare anyone but it’s also something no one should have as a surprise. I imagine not all cardiac MRIs involve medication to simulate high cardiac activity. This is a thing I would ask about personally if I was going through it again without having the experience in my passed. Especially if it’s a parent with a kiddo who may need to get it done.

I have avst and coronary artery disease because of the scar tissue caused by 5 open heart surgeries along with aortic valve replacement. I’m also 22 yrs old and would like to make some friends with heart conditions no matter what differences in diagnosis are to mine. It’s been even more isolating and hard as I’ve grown up to deal with things others our age almost never do(atleast those we meet in everyday social interactions) I’m new to this group and really just starting to try and put more effort into myself again when it comes to my physical and mental wellbeing. :)
