Cyndi, That is a question for the doctor. The newer models don't have that problem. Ask the doctor or maybe the manufacturer can answer that. My guess is yes Safe mode would keep it running enough to keep you alive. It does not make sense otherwise. I mean we all need MRIs at some point.

@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member, God has been good to a great many of us here. I am so pleased that you have had pacemakers and that the transplant continues to be a success and gave you the gift of life. So much to be thankful for this time of year. Hugs my friend and thanks as always for all the hugs, likes, and prayers you send my way. Have a wonderful, peaceful, and healthy Christmas. πŸ€—
