Interference in implanted cardiac devices, Part I.
Sensing intrinsic cardiac electrical activity is essential for the function of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Examples of undesired triggering or inhibition of pacemaker output by extraneous signals were identified early after the introduction of noncompetitive, “demand” pacemakers. Hermetic shielding in metal cases, filtering, and interference rejection circuits...
متن کاملInterference in implanted cardiac devices, part II.
Patients with implanted cardiac devices (generally of advanced age and with severe cardiovascular disease) often require diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that involve strong sources of EMI. It should be emphasized that with appropriate planning most of these procedures can be performed safely. Consultation regarding exposure to EMI in the medical environment constitutes a frequent clinical...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Interference With Implantable Cardiac Devices
Although pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are subject to electromagnetic interference (EMI) from many sources, relatively few are capable of causing clinically significant interference. However, in the rapidly evolving technology -driven environment in which we live, new devices that could theoretically cause interference with implanted devices constantly appear bot...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Interference in Implantable Rhythm Devices: Comment
This is a short comment on the editorial on Electromagnetic Interference in Implantable Rhythm Devices The Indian Scenario in the July-September issue of the journal.1 Regarding the statement: "Systems working at 0.5 Tesla are available in the country so that it may be considered in such situations..." , though the author conveys his point, it gives reader a feeling that 0.5 Tesla magnetic reso...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Interference Emitted from Electronic Devices
Measuring the level of electromagnetic interference emitted by electronic devices is an important part of the process of production and development of these devices. Today, these measurements are performed by specialized laboratories that are equipped with an anechoic or semi-anechoic chamber. For manufacturers of electronic devices, it would be beneficial if a Gigahertz Transversal Electromagn...
