Catie B I hope everything is okay, Aura, and that you're feeling better now. Ordinarily, MRI staff are very vigilant about not scanning patients for whom the scan could be any danger. For what it's worth, I have an Edwards bovine valve and have had three MRIs since my OHS.

Aura Stogdon Thank you Catie, is 4 am in London and I woke up again remembering how I felt while inside the MRI tube. My vale is mechanical ! My valve replacement was 10 years ago. With no problems whatsoever. I am seeing a doctor this morning for her to refer me to a cardiologist to check if my valve did move from its place during the MRI. Feeling very tired.
