MRI and heart device check with older pacemakers/ICDs
This study helps people who need an MRI scan, especially those with implanted heart devices like pacemakers or defibrillators. It checks whether an MRI can be done safely using specific device models and added screening rules.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need an MRI that your doctor says is necessary.
- You have a pacemaker made in 1996 or later OR an ICD (defibrillator) made in 2000 or later.
- Your pacemaker is not an older model (made before 1996), and your ICD is not older (made before 2000).
- Your body weight is at least 80 pounds (about 36 kg).
- You can complete the MRI safety questionnaire and be cleared as safe for MRI.
- Your pregnancy status is compatible with the study rules (no first trimester enrollment, and no gadolinium during pregnancy).

This trial studies whether it’s safe to do MRI scans in people who already have a pacemaker or an implanted defibrillator (ICD) when they medically need an MRI. It’s for patients who can pass the usual MRI safety screening.
This study tracks how safe MRI scans are for people with certain heart devices, like pacemakers or defibrillators. It helps doctors understand if MRI is a good option for you if you have one of these devices.
This trial uses cardiac MRI to check the heart in people who have older or damaged pacemaker leads or who have permanent leads on the outside of the heart. The goal is to see if MRI can safely provide useful images without causing problems.
This study looks at people who already had a heart MRI before getting a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other heart device. It aims to learn how MRI results might predict long-term outcomes for these patients.
This study checks whether a new, higher-detail heart MRI technique can produce reliable heart images. You might help researchers improve how doctors see and assess the heart during routine MRI care.
This study looks at whether using a heart MRI (CMR) to guide where to place an implanted defibrillator (ICD) improves outcomes for people with a weakened heart muscle caused by non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. It’s for adults who have low pumping strength and evidence of heart scarring on MRI.
