Abstract

Utilization of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) as an imaging modality in clinical practice is rapidly increasing. More evidence from randomized studies establishing clinical safety and performance of pacing systems in patients undergoing a cMRI scan is needed. The purpose of this prospective, multicenter, randomized study was to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the Accent MRI™ conditional pacing systems (St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN, USA) in patients undergoing cMRI scan. Patients (n  =  283) indicated for dual-chamber pacemaker implant were randomized to either the MRI Group (MG) (n  =  140) or the Control Group (CG) (n  =  143) after successful device implantation of the Accent MRI™ system. Clinical evaluation and device interrogation were performed at pre- and post-MRI scan, and 1 month post-MRI for all patients. At 9-12 weeks postimplant, patients in MG underwent a nondiagnostic cMRI scan at 1.5 Tesla (T), while patients in CG underwent device interrogation and clinical evaluation twice with a 45-minute waiting period in between. The safety endpoint was freedom from MRI scan-related complications and that for efficacy was significant changes in right atrial/ventricular capture threshold and sensing amplitude b...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Antianginal Drugs: Mechanisms of Action

Antianginal drugs, including nitrates, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers, are used in the treatment of angina pectoris. Here is the latest research on their use and their mechanism of action.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
