Implanted cardiac pacemaker (PM) or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) has been so far considered a contra-indication to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In the last few years MRI conditional cardiac implantable electronic devices have been marketed enabling patients undergo MRI under specific conditions. We present current state of the art and provide overview of available MRI conditional devices. Magnetic resonance imaging in these patients should be performed only in cases where the requested information can not be obtained using alternative imaging technique.
