observation of imageready™ mr conditional defibrillation system in china

Conditions: Arrhythmia

Summary: to observe the safety and effectiveness of imageready™ mr conditional defibrillation system in a chinese population.

this is a multi-center, prospective, single-arm study, aimed to observe the safety and effectiveness of imageready™ mr conditional defibrillation system in a chinese population.it will enroll 20 subjects in 5 sites in china.the primary safety endpoint is mr scan-related complication-free rate between the mr scan and the mri + 1 month visit. the primary effectiveness endpoints include:1.abnormal increase in rv shocking impedance from the pre-mr scan to the 1 month post-mr scan. 2.increase in rv pacing threshold from the pre-mr scan to the 1 month post-mr scan. 3.decrease in rv sensed amplitude from the pre-mr scan to the 1 month post-mr scan. 4.increase in lv pacing threshold from the pre-mr scan to the 1 month post-mr scan. 5.decrease in lv sensed amplitude from the pre-mr scan to the 1 month post- mr scan.
