What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is a prospective cohort study looking to systematically evaluate the safety of conducting cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in this high-risk patient group with abandoned, fractured endocardial leads or surgically implanted permanent epicardial leads, by monitoring clinical outcome and device functionality (if active device present).

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for people who have abandoned or broken heart device wires (endocardial leads) or permanent wires placed on the outside of the heart (epicardial leads).

Inclusion Criteria

I am 18 years old or older.
Individuals with abandoned, fractured endocardial leads
Individuals with permanent epicardial pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads

Exclusion Criteria

Within 6 weeks post device implantation, unless more urgent clinical needs dictate an earlier scan
Pregnant individuals
Individuals with severe claustrophobia
