I suspect the heart valve is stressed by tachycardia or the arrhythmia and shows a very slight leakage as a result. My experience is that this clears up once the heart muscle recovers so you shouldn't be worried. A stress cardiac MRI is a state of the art diagnostic tool for clinicians, I gather, so you're lucky to be having one. It's a painless procedure but does take up to an hour inside the MRI "tube".
