NCT ID NCT07679009
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether cardiac MRI is safe and helpful for people who have abandoned, fractured, or permanently implanted heart wires (leads). Researchers will monitor patients during and after the scan to check for any problems and see how well the images work for diagnosis. The goal is to improve care for a group that is often excluded from MRI scans.

- Active substance
- Cardiac MRI (CMR)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could expand safe access to cardiac MRI for patients with certain heart leads, improving diagnosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There is a risk of lead heating or movement during MRI.
