Joint British Society consensus recommendations for magnetic resonance imaging for patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices

HeartPublished Consensus statement

Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Almost all patients with cardiac devices should now have the same access to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning in the NHS as the general population

  2. MRI may be considered in patients with cardiac implantable electronic device (CIEDs) without MR safety labelling, or with MR Conditional CIEDs where certain conditions are not met, where the clinical justification is robust

  3. Service delivery requires specialist equipment, robust protocols for patient safety and workflows, and multidisciplinary collaboration
