Description

Sarina Zakavi and co-authors review stress heart scans for patients with implanted heart devices in a 2026 article. Stress magnetic scans can reveal poor blood flow and scar without surgery, yet device carriers are often turned away over safety and image worries. Practice has shifted as device-safe models spread.

Six databases were searched, and eight studies met the entry rules from 1,695 papers found at the start of the search. The review sorts findings on image quality, scanner safety, device settings, stress drug choice, and patient outcomes. A positive trend toward scanning patients with modern conditional devices stood out. Gaps in protocols and reporting were flagged for the next round of studies.
