These documents describe an IRB-approved research study and clinical safety workflow that allows patients with pacemakers/ICDs (CIEDs) to undergo clinically indicated MRI with standardized monitoring, device programming, and follow-up, while…
This patient-facing educational handout explains the process, risks, and safeguards involved when patients with legacy (non–MRI-conditional) pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) undergo MRI imaging. It is designed to support…
This patient-facing educational handout provides clear, step-by-step guidance to help reduce infection risk and support optimal recovery for patients undergoing implantable cardiac device procedures. Designed for use before pacemaker, ICD,…
