Development of an MRI-compatible catheter for pacing the heart: initial in vitro and in vivo results

Abstract

An MRI-compatible catheter was developed for pacing the heart during MRI imaging. The device was tested in vitro and in vivo in 10 animal experiments, using spin-echo, gradient-echo, and echo-planar MRI sequences. Images were of good quality in all sequences. Pacing was effective without induced arrhythmias. Therefore, pacing the heart during MRI is feasible and seems to be safe when using dedicated hardware.

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.
