Electromagentic interferences in patients with pacemaker and implanted cardiodesfibrillator
Keywords:
IMPLANTABLE DEFIBRILLATORS, ARTIFICIAL PACEMAKER, RADIATION
Abstract
A review of electromagnetic interferences in patients with cardiac pacemakers (MP) and or implanted cardiodes-fibrillators (DAI), in everyday life, at work and under therapeutic procedures. Electromagnetic signs could be reduced with a suitable education focused both on patients and physicians not habituated to these patients. A clinical shared management with plane guidelines improves the condition of patients attenuating problems due to electromagnetic interferences.
