Here is an informative new video from our friend Doug Rachac that nicely explains the safety of MRIs for patients with implantable defibrillators and pacemakers.
I wrote a blog piece about this same issue a few years back. Here it is:
And a few other relevant blog entries here on HCMBeat:

Doug – thank you for taking the time to produce these wonderful videos. They are very informative and you present information in a way that is easily understood by patients and our caregivers. The CIED industry could learn a thing or 2 from you on effective communication methods. Well done!
