Safety of magnetic resonance imaging scanning in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy –defibrillators incorporating quadripolar left ventricular leads

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