Hi,
I am sorry to know your concern.But let me tell you that an MRI does not always mean a serious problem.In fact it is a better tool to diagnose some specific conditions which are not generally diagnosed with CT scan only. Cardiac MRI helps diagnose better in cases like right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia( RVOT) and even in the outcome of it's treatment. So I'll suggest to keep absolute calm and please go through the procedure. Please do not hesitate to write to me again if there is any confusion, I'll be happy to help.
