I agree we don’t know what it was for, and I’m not arguing semantics. POTUS said he had an MRI. Taking him at his word, that’s a specific machine. It all sounds like BS to me.

For normal people I agree. He probably asked for/demanded one, or his doctor(s) tried sucking up and said ‘let’s do this’, or both. Don’t think cardiac MRI is mainstream. Coronary CTA, stress echo, exercise or nuclear stress all better modalities. 5y ago no one was doing C-MRI at my academic center

Actually, no. Those that can’t walk get a pharmacological stress test done with a radioactive tracer and nuclear imaging. MRI is not as good or sensitive a modality to pick up reduced flow. The graphic sounds like direct-to-consumer advertising.
