Incidence and predictors of MRI scan utilization in MRI-conditional pacemaker recipients: A multicenter experience.

Background: Patient characteristics, higher device cost, and vendor contracts likely prevent use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-conditional pacemakers (MRC) in all pacemaker (PM)-eligible patients. We sought to identify the incidence and predictors of MRI scan utilization in MRC recipients.

Methods: Patients receiving an MRC or non-MRI-conditional PM (NMRC) at four centers were included.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of magnetic resonance imaging-conditional pacemaker implantation: Insights from a multicenter study and implications in the current era.

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-conditional pacemakers (M-PPMs) grant patients greater accessibility to MRI scans. The cost-effectiveness of implanting M-PPM is unknown.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the cost-effectiveness of M-PPM implantation.
