MRI and AFib

[falah12345]

Does any one know if a brain MRI could trigger AF ?

I had my ablation done 3 months ago and due for MRI today

just concerned if the strong magnetic field could trigger AF

Thanks in advance

I had an MRI of my thoracic and abdomen areas a few weeks ago, no problem at all with arrhythmia. Hope this helps. It's not the first I have had either and no problems on each occasion.

Why would it unless you have a pace maker in which case you would not have the MRI for fear of damaging that?

I mentioned ablations and cardio versions on my MRI safety questionnaire, they seem more concerned with implants and devices but I felt I needed to tell them anyway, in case it kicked off whilst I was confined.

It didn't, nor was mentioned, that it would affect AF at all.

I had a brain MRI because they were concerned as to why I had tinnitus in just one ear, NO problem re AF.
