Cardiac fibrosis

Chest

Cardiac fibrosis is a scarring of the heart muscle that can develop following injury, inflammation, or long-term stress on the heart. It can affect how efficiently the heart pumps blood. An MRI may show areas of the heart muscle with signal changes consistent with scarring. Identifying cardiac fibrosis early allows for management of the underlying cause that may help slow further deterioration in heart function.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
