Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used as the optimum modality for cardiac imaging. An aging population and rising numbers of patients with permanent pacemakers means many such individuals may require cardiac MRI scanning in the future. Whilst the presence of a permanent pacemaker is historically regarded as a contra-indication to MRI scanning, pacemaker systems have been developed to limit any associated risks. No reports have been published regarding the use of such devices with cardiac MRI in a clinical setting. We present the safe, successful cardiac MRI scan of a patient with an MRI-conditional permanent pacing system.
心脏磁共振成像（MRI）越来越多地被用作心脏成像的最佳方式。人口老龄化以及永久性起搏器患者数量的增加意味着未来许多此类个体可能需要进行心脏MRI扫描。虽然永久性起搏器的存在在历史上被视为MRI扫描的禁忌症，但已经开发出起搏器系统来限制任何相关风险。关于在临床环境中使用此类设备进行心脏MRI的情况，尚未有报告发表。我们展示了一名使用MRI条件性永久起搏系统患者的安全、成功的心脏MRI扫描。
