Pacemakers are installed to regulate abnormal heart rhythms, a condition known as arrhythmia. They help maintain an appropriate heart rate by sending electrical impulses to the heart when it beats too slowly or irregularly. This device can improve symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, or shortness of breath, enhancing overall quality of life for individuals with heart rhythm disorders.

Can people with pacemakers have an MRI and a Cat Scan?
People with pacemakers can have any CT scan. The answer for MRI is changing now. Older pacemakers were not MRI compatible. There are new pacemakers being installed that are MRI compatible (up to a certain size MRI strength). When you had your pacemaker installed, you should have received a card telling the technologist about your pacemaker and if it is safe to enter the MRI that will be used. If you did not get the card or have lost that card contact the office of the doctor that put your pacemaker in and ask them and also request another card.
