Wearing a heart aid device can still produce magnetic resonance imaging
Good news for millions of people with cardiac devices, they can now use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without worrying about health effects thanks to a special cardiac device.
This device was first applied in the world and was officially launched in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (China) on February 22.
This special type of pacemaker is called "EnRhythm MRI SureScan pacemaker and CapSureFix MRI SureScan pacing leads", designed to allow its wearer to take MRI under certain conditions.
This is considered a big step in the development of heart implant devices.
Currently, in Europe alone, there are about 2 million people with normal cardiac devices but are prohibited from taking MRI because the device can affect magnetic fields and radio waves, endangering patients.
Meanwhile, it is estimated that 50-75% of patients with cardiopulmonary devices worldwide need at least one MRI for health screening, since magnetic resonance imaging is the best method to diagnose cancer and nervous system disorders.
With the advent of this new cardiac device, cardiovascular patients will have a better chance of being diagnosed and more timely about their health status.
