“…In addition, the MRI safe mode can be enabled only following a successful system integrity check. 58 Forleo et al 59 studied the safety of EnRhythm system implantation in a study that included 107 patients who underwent implantation of either an MRI conditional device or a conventional dual-chamber device. No complications were observed during the follow-up period.…”

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has evolved into an essential diagnostic modality for the evaluation of various conditions. In line with the increase in MRI applications, the use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) is growing and many of the CEID recipients of today may require MRI examinations in the future. Traditionally, MRI examination of CIED recipients has been considered a contraindication. However, recent studies have provided strong evidence that MRI can safely be performed in selected patients with specific precautions. This review highlights the interactions of MRI with CIEDs, summarizes the literature, and outlines the Johns Hopkins Safety Protocol.

“…Challenges regarding the risks of performing MRI examinations versus the potential benefits to individual patients in situations in which an MRI was essential to patient management (1,2) have led to the first wave of engineering of prospectively designed pacing systems acceptable for use under specific MRI and device conditions (3,4). A "magnetic resonance [MR]-conditional" item is defined as posing no known hazards in a specified MRI environment with specified conditions of use; an "MR-safe" item as posing no known hazards in all MRI environments; and an "MR-unsafe" item as posing hazards in all MRI environments (5).…”
