A member asked:
2 radiologist read my cardiac mri, first one said i have scarring and the second said normal mri. is scarring commonly misinterpreted in cardiac mri images? should i get a second opinion?

You need your cardiologist to place the readings in your current clinical context, adding a radiologist will add to the confusion. It is the detailed history, your current symptoms and physical symptoms that will have to be weighed in first.
