Access to magnetic resonance imaging of patients with magnetic resonance-conditional pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator systems: results from the Really ProMRI study

ConclusionIn this study, we reported a 7.0/100 patient-year ’s event rate of MR prescriptions in CIED patients. Many examinations were denied, despite MR-conditional systems, especially in ICD patients. Regulatory and cultural changes are needed to allow wider access to MR imaging in CIED patients with MR-conditional systems.
