• Patients implanted with an MRI conditional cardiac pacemaker can be safely scanned under 1.5 or 3 Tesla MRI with preserved interpretability. • Electrical parameters of the MRI conditional pacing system remain stable after a 1.5 or 3 Tesla MRI scan. • The automated MRI mode enabled the automatic switch to asynchronous mode in the MRI environment and to initial settings after the MRI scan in all patients.
