Stress cardiac MRI

Received a letter from the Royal Brompton few days ago and I have an appointment on the 12th of Feb and I have never had this test before and this will be my first time going to this hospital? Has anybody had this test before?? 🤔 Just bit worried about the stuff they inject in your arm last time I had something similar for an CMR I had a really weird reaction to the contrast??

Hi there. My neighbour had this test done a while back, it's like having the stress exercise treadmill test but with no treadmill, I also had an allergic reaction to the iodine after a while I started to get a rash on my stomach gladly I was still in the hospital when it started to happen. Hope everything gose to plan on the 12th for you. Take care

Is that the same test as a myocardial perfusion ( not sure if I have spelt it correctly) as I had one of them in 2022. Although the test lasted for only about 6 minutes I didn't think much to it as it was a very weird experience for me personally. Anyway whatever test you are having you will be in good hands and I wish you well

When I received appointment for the stress test at Royal Brompton I requested in advance if I could do the test on the Treadmill instead of injection. They agreed. They are very good at the Brompton.

Give them a call and tell them what happened previously. They can check whether it's the same stuff.
