N=54 MRI Studies N (%)

Symptoms during MRI
 Warmth at left chest 2 (4)
 Tingling sensation at left chest 1 (2)
 Pause in heart rhythm when programmed in non-paced mode 1 (2)

CIED or lead removal required post-MRI 0 (0)

CIED or lead removal related to MRI at follow-up 0 (0)

Programming changes post-MRI (N=49)
 Change in Capture Threshold >0.5 0 (0)

Programming changes at follow-up (N=36)
 Change in Capture Threshold >0.5V 0 (0)

N=49 due to 4 patients not having a CIED generator and 1 patient whose post-MRI interrogation was not entered into the medical record.

N=36 due to 4 patients not having a CIED generator and 14 patients who did not have a follow-up interrogation in the medical record.
