Safety of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanning in Patients with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillators Incorporating Quadripolar Left Ventricular Leads

Magnetic resonance imaging of MR Conditional cardiac implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) can be safely scanned following specific protocols. MRI safety with cardiac resynchronization-therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) incorporating quadripolar left ventricular (LV) leads is less clear.
