Interesting about the MRI. I have a defribulator/pacemaker combo implanted in my chest due to v-fib. Was told I could not undergo an MRI cause it would mess up the combo. My Physiologist-Cardiologist says it can be done but most doctors are afraid to try an MRI. So far, I have been able to avoid the need for an MRI, but wonder what will happen if I sometime need one.
Also interested. Was told no MRI with pacemaker. Electro-magnets and leads implanted in the body does not go too well together! Although, I've heard that more current implanted leads are MRI safe. Mine was implanted in 2010.
