Why the study?
How can MRI be safely performed in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices?
How can MRI be safely performed in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices?
This joint consensus statement provides a collaborative framework and recommendations for safely performing MRI in patients with MRI conditional and nonconditional CIEDs.

May support MRI use with conditional CIEDs; leaves open need for larger prospective trials before routine practice change.
Verma et al. (2014) studied Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was evaluated. Magnetic resonance imaging can be safely performed in patients with MRI conditional cardiac implantable electronic devices following a collaborative process between CIED and radiology departments.
