. Subject must be implanted with a St. Jude Medical Tendril STS 2088 or Isoflex 1944/1948 lead, and Assurity MRI or Endurity MRI pacemaker.
. Capture threshold is stable and \< 2.5V @ 0.5ms at the time of enrollment.
. Subject is clinically indicated for a 3T MRI scan without sedation NOTE: Antianxiety agents (e.g. minor tranquilizers, etc.) may be used as long as the patient can communicate with site personnel during the MRI scan
. Subject is willing and able to comply with the prescribed follow-up tests and schedule of evaluations.
Exclusion criteria
. The subject is currently participating in a clinical investigation that includes an active treatment arm that may confound the results of this study as determined by Abbott.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Proportion of subjects with a capture threshold increase of ≤ 0.5V at the permanently programmed pulse width
Timeframe: from pre- MRI scan to one-month post MRI scan
. Presence of other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the subject's ability to participate in the clinical investigation or to comply with follow-up requirements, or impact the scientific soundness of the clinical investigation results.
. Any contraindication to MRI scan, including the presence of additional hardware (e.g. lead extenders, lead adapters, surgical staples, stents, dental braces, or abandoned leads).
