MRI safety registry for people with pacemakers or defibrillators
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a pacemaker or defibrillator (implanted after 2001).
- Your doctor says you need an MRI scan for a medical reason.
- You have a specific type of device or lead configuration (for example, a lead that is not approved for MRI or an abandoned lead).
- Your device's battery is not near the end of its life.
- Your kidney function is normal (GFR at least 45).

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 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.
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 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.
This trial tests whether using an MRI to help place a defibrillator (a device that corrects dangerous heart rhythms) works better than the usual method. It may help people with weak heart pumping after a heart attack.
