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).
Evaluation of safety of MR scanning of patients with implanted cardiac devices. Device parameters pre and post MR imaging will be assessed.
