Thanks for the follow up! As someone with old leads, I find this very exciting.

Hi, I live in Dorset..uk. I have a dual pacemaker..fitted in 2007,. Have so many joint problems with low back,neck and elbows. My pacemaker battery was running low...I was given the option to have the leads replaced as my leads are not MRI..i just felt I couldnt go through with all that but on the other hand need MRI scans....its reassuring to know you have been able to be scanned in London...was it on the NHS? Kind regards. Amanda
