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.
