Would a full cardiac MRI be able to detect any stenosis in a prosthetic aortic valve?

From what I have read on here there seem numerous ways to detect stenosis of a valve or valves. Many peoples are first detected by listening to a person's heart and detecting a heart murmur. According to the BHF fairly basic X-rays and echocardiograms can detect issues before going to CT scans and MRIs. Have you spoken to your GP about this? He's probably the best starting place.
