Safety, feasibility, and diagnostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with cardiac pacemakers and implantable cardioverters/defibrillators at 1.5 T

Cardiac MR may be performed safely when limiting specific absorption rate, appropriately monitoring patients, and following device reprogramming. Cardiac MR delivers good IQ and DV in patients with RSD. Cardiac MR in patients with RSD may therefore be performed with an acceptable risk/benefit ratio, whereas the risk/benefit ratio is rather unfavorable in patients with LSD.
