CDMR: University Hospital Cardiac Device MR Registry: The Safety of MR Imaging in Patients With Implanted Cardiac Devices
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A single-center registry to prospectively evaluate the safety of non-cardiac/non-thoracic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with implanted cardiac devices (pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators).
