#whyCMR and Implantable devices:

👉Increasing rates of cardiac device implantation
👉Expanding indications for CMR

Need to deal with:
🥇Device compatibility
🥈Artifacts
🥉Stress perfusion

…where are we?
💫Here a tweetorial on CMR and devices! Conditional or non conditional?

👉1.5T or 3T
👉 no deaths, lead failures, losses of capture, or ventricular arrhythmias during CMR in patients with non-MR conditional pacemakers or ICDs
👉only decrease in 1% in p wave amplitude (no clinically relevant)
