Abstract
For over a decade, implantable electrotherapy devices have been available which allow — under certain conditions — diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests to be performed. Detailed recommendations for the performance of these tests have been published in the latest guidelines by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). The latest guidelines, compared to the 2013 recommendations, changed the recommendation class for MRI examinations. They strongly emphasised that the presence of a typical pacing system, cardioverter-defibrillator or resynchronization system, does not constitute a contraindication to MRI diagnostics. The guidelines also indicate that under certain conditions, such tests are safe and should be performed. This article presents detailed recommendations of the qualifications required for an MRI and the programming devices recommended by the ESC.
