Diagnostic Utility of Cardiac MRI for Patients with Abandoned or Epicardial Leads

This study is looking at how safe it is to perform a Cardiac MRI (CMR) in people who have abandoned (left in place but not used) or broken heart leads, or permanent leads placed on the outside of the heart (epicardial leads). Researchers will use Cardiac MRI to see if it's a safe and useful way to get diagnostic information in these patients. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older and have these types of heart leads. The main goal is to check the safety of the Cardiac MRI procedure over 6 months. The study status is currently unclear, and it plans to enroll 20 participants.

Study design
This is a prospective cohort study, meaning researchers will follow a group of participants over time. It is a descriptive case series, so it will not compare results to a control group.
What's involved
You will have a thorough check-up before the MRI, including a chest X-ray and device checks. You will be continuously monitored during the MRI and evaluated for any side effects afterward.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The study will evaluate the safety of the Cardiac MRI over 6 months after the procedure.

  • Evaluating the safety of CMR6 months

    To systematically evaluate the safety of conducting cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in this high-risk patient group with abandoned, fractured endocardial leads or surgically implanted permanent epicardial leads, by monitoring clinical outcome and device functionality (if active device present). This is done by evaluating and reviewing the CMR images.
