Recommendations regarding performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in non-MRI conditional pacemaker and defibrillator recipients are evolving. Previous studies have suggested low adverse event rates with MRI in nonconditional cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) recipients, but low po...
