Hi dear

Welcome to the platform of Health care magic.

Dear Friend it is quite important to know the details of your weak heart and blocked artery.

MG (Mysthenia Gravis) is a disease of only skeletal muscle and heart is a not made of skeletal muscle.

MG has nothing to do with the heart myocardium. You can very well undergo with this test under the supervision of a cardiologist.

Hope your query is answered.

Thanks
