This week's episode is co-branded with SADS.ORG and is a review of a recent multicenter PACES study on the general outcomes of patients with congenital heart disease who have undergone MRI's. Just how worried should the practitioner be to send a pacemaker or ICD patient for an MRI of any body part? Is there a period of time after implantation when it is safer to proceed with an MRI? What is meant by an MRI conditional device or lead? Does the part of the body imaged matter in regards to risk to CIED's? These are just some of the questions posed to the senior author of this week's work, Dr. Thomas Pilcher of Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.
