Introduction: Whether diagnostic computed tomography (CT) scans to cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) is safe in recent models remains unknown.
Methods: A two-centers observational study. Over 14 years, consecutive 2362 chest CT scans (1666 pacemakers [PMs], 145 cardiac resynchronization therapy PM, 316 implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, and 233 cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator) were interrogated and monitored upon imaging.
