Powerful fields produced during MRI have the potential to induce hazardous effects on patients with traditional implantable cardiac devices.
Potential Hazard | Device (Impact) | Field (Static/Gradient/RF) |
---|---|---|
Lead Heating |
Tissue damage may affect pacing or defibrillation therapy. |
RF |
Unintended Cardiac Stimulation |
May lead to a single intermittent stimulation or sustained tachycardia. |
Gradient, RF |
Device Interactions |
CRT, ICD, or pacemaker malfunction or failure may affect pacing or defibrillation therapy. |
Static, Gradient, RF |
