Cardiac MRI for people with pacemakers or ICDs
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a pacemaker or ICD lead that is broken, abandoned, or placed on the outside of your heart
- It has been at least 6 weeks since your device was put in (unless your doctor says you need the scan sooner)
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have severe claustrophobia (fear of tight spaces)
- You have no other reason that makes MRI unsafe for you, as decided by the study doctor

This study is for people with a pacemaker or defibrillator who need an MRI. It looks at how safe the MRI is for certain heart devices and special situations (like devices that are not approved for MRI or those with extra or broken leads).
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 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 uses advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to better understand and diagnose heart disease. If you have suspected or confirmed heart problems, this trial may help doctors get clearer pictures of your heart muscle and tissue to figure out what's causing your symptoms.
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 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.
