"4308","Electromagnetic Interference in Patients with Implanted Cardioverter-Defibrillators and Implantable Loop Recorders","Modern life exposes us all to an ever-increasing number of potential sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and patients with Implantable rhythm devices (IRD) like pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators or implantable loop recorders often ask about the use of microwave ovens, walking through airport metal detectors and the use of cellular phones.              Electromagnetic interference occurs when electromagnetic waves emitted by one device impede the normal function of another electronic device. The potential for interaction between implanted pacing systems and cardioverter-defibrillators (electromagnetic interference, EMI) has been recognized for years.1,2,3,4. It has been shown that EMI can produce clinically significant effects on patients with implanted pacemakers and ICDs. For these reasons the following text discusses the influence of several EMI generating devices on IRD .","http://cogprints.org/4308/","de Sousa, Marcos and Klein, Gunnar and Korte, Thomas and Niehaus, Michael","Singh, Balbir and Lokhandwala, Yash and Francis, Johnson and Gupta, Anup","       <span class=\"person_name\">de Sousa, Marcos</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Klein, Gunnar</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Korte, Thomas</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Niehaus, Michael</span>     (2002)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/4308/\"><em>Electromagnetic Interference in Patients with Implanted Cardioverter-Defibrillators and Implantable Loop Recorders.</em></a>       [Journal (Paginated)]           ","","2002-07"
