| Abstract |
Electromagnetic fields can cause interferences with active implanted medical devices. This article addresses the issue of compatibility of implantable heart stimulators and defibrillators in the presence of ambient electronic security systems. It presents the various existing security systems, explains their health hazards, including based on findings of studies, and proposes a number of recommendations for avoiding interferences. |
