Patients with ferromagnetic cardiac devices, particularly cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) such as pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators, are often inappropriately deprived of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for safety reasons. This consensus document is written by a multidisciplinary working group involving rhythmologists, interventional cardiologists, echocardiographists and radiologists. Its objective is to establish good practice recommendations to optimize the management of patients with cardiac devices requiring MRI examination, while ensuring their safety and facilitating their access to MRI.
