Comparisons between MR-conditional and non-MR conditional lead groups are made as comparisons of percentage change to avoid baseline differences in absolute measurements. The number of lead comparisons is smaller than the number of total patients and depends on the number of leads implanted, variable underlying rhythm, variable pulse width, device, and the presence of atrial fibrillation. In these cases, there was no clinically significant change on interrogation. P-values are for pre- vs. post-comparisons and for the comparison of changes post-MRI between MR-conditional and non-MR conditional leads (between groups). Statistically significant comparisons shown in bold (p<0.05).
