Caution advised interpreting ILR tracings after shoulder MRI; leaves open systematic study of device-MRI artefact patterns.
Case Report (n=1)
MRI can cause artefacts mimicking tachycardia on implantable loop recorders, requiring caution during ECG interpretation.
John Gimbel (2003) conducted a case report in Recurrent syncope (n=1). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was evaluated on Artefact mimicking tachycardia. Shoulder magnetic resonance imaging in a patient with an implantable loop recorder produced an artefact mimicking wide and narrow complex tachycardias.
