Safety of magnetic resonance scanning without monitoring of patients with pacemakers

ConclusionIt is possible to perform MRI scans relatively safely in PM patients without additional monitoring or change in the normal MRI protocol, given that the PM has been assessed and reprogrammed prior to MRI. This is especially important to remember in the acute setting where MRI scans may be delayed when monitoring facilities are unavailable.
