Abstract 11499: Safety or Efficacy; Or Could We Have Both? A Focused Study of Prohibited Devices in the MRI Environment

IntroductionMRI is infrequently performed on patients with conventional pacemakers/ICDs. While many studies have unequivocally documented MRI safety in pts with implanted devices, the clinical value has only recently been postulated.HypothesisWe propose that MRI in patients with a PM/ICD is crucial...

Description
Summary:IntroductionMRI is infrequently performed on patients with conventional pacemakers/ICDs. While many studies have unequivocally documented MRI safety in pts with implanted devices, the clinical value has only recently been postulated.HypothesisWe propose that MRI in patients with a PM/ICD is crucial to defining the diagnosis and, in many instances, substantially alters diagnosis and management.MethodsAn evaluation of 772 consecutive patients with PM/ICDs who underwent MRI (GE 1.5T,WI) over 13 yrs (95%
