Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. Inclusion criteria * Patient is \>18 years old * Patient implanted with a Biotronik MRI compatible CIED (including the pacemaker, cardiac resynchronization therapy, implantable cardioverter defibrillator, and cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator) in the past two months * Patient has provided a written informed consent * Patient's height is≥140cm 2.
Exclusion criteria
* Have other medical implants that may interact with MRI, e.g. abandoned pacemaker/ICD leads, lead extensions, mechanical valves, other active medical devices, non-MRI compatible devices * Life expectancy less than 2 years * Pregnant and/or breat-feeding females or females who intend to become pregnant in next two years * Patient is currently participating in another study * In the investigator's opinion patient will not be able to comply with the follow-up requirements
