Medical - Medical: Cardiology
English term or phrase: shrapnel
In a study of the heart, the text says: shrapnel near the heart, but I dno not find any connection between the study and "metralla" or bullet casings...

If you know what "shrapnel near the heart", I'll trully appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Any chance they may be talking about the dangers of having a MRI when there is shrapnel lodged near the heart? the magnetic field created can dislodge it and could be fatal
