Abstract
This study evaluated the safety of 1.5-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 438 patients with implanted cardiac devices before, during, and after imaging. Only 3 patients acutely experienced the d... Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is avoided in most patients with implanted cardiac devices because of safety concerns. Objective: To define the safety of a protocol for MRI at the comm...Keywords
