Comparison of Device Parameters After MRI With Baseline Values Before MRI*
Difference Immediately After MRI | P | Difference at Follow-Up (Median 99 Days After MRI) | P | |
---|---|---|---|---|
P-wave amplitude, mV | 0.06±0.07 | 0.44 | −0.14±0.27 | 0.61 |
R-wave amplitude, mV | −0.09±0.15 | 0.58 | 0.96±0.70 | 0.19 |
Atrial lead impedance, Ω | −2.68±5.01 | 0.60 | −6.17±11.53 | 0.60 |
Ventricular lead impedance, Ω | −0.49±2.74 | 0.86 | 6.15±12.56 | 0.63 |
Atrial capture, V | 0.02±0.02 | 0.28 | −0.07±0.18 | 0.69 |
Ventricular capture, V | −0.001±0.013 | 0.93 | −0.01±0.05 | 0.85 |
Battery voltage, V | −0.004±0.002 | 0.08 | −0.05±0.02 | 0.06 |
Values are reported as mean difference between immediate or long-term and baseline parameter ±SEM. Student t test was not performed on left ventricular lead thresholds in cardiac resynchronization therapy systems because there were not enough data points for a meaningful comparison; there were no significant changes in individual left ventricular lead thresholds after testing, however.
