Lani, if you're correct, then Mt. Sinai was particularly negligent in trying to use contrast dye during my echo, as its purpose was to determine if my LVEF was still in normal range. I was having another test in the afternoon and was concerned about having two contrast dye injections in one day so refused. Just another reason for all of us to be vigilant in our own care. I'd be curious to know if what you write is correct. If it is, I intend to follow up with my cardiologist to find out why contrast dye was suggested for my echo.
Andi, there can be issues with MRI contrast dyes, but from what I've read it's usually with those who have kidney problems. You can read up on it via the internet. I know that drinking lots of water, particularly after the test, is advised.
