"Dedicated device programming is an effective measure to reduce the individual risk of interference. For example, doctors can reprogram pacemakers to a lower sensitivity to reduce EMF susceptibility." ...

"To protect patients from electromagnetic interference, adjusting pacemaker settings to a lower sensitivity, bipolar sensing, and keeping at a distance from electromagnetic field sources are ...

Undersensing The first issue is when the set sensitivity of the pacemaker is too high. In the electrocardiogram (ECG) shown in Fig 2, this has resulted in the device not clearly detecting the ...

The intervention tested in this study is the TherapyGuide function, a device feature designed to assist physicians in programming pacemakers by providing expert-consensus-based recommendations ...

While the concept is straightforward, setting up the world's first pacemaker reconditioning program has been an interesting challenge.

This study sought to determine the sensitivity and specificity, rate of compliance, and predictors of failure of telephone transmission of pacemaker function in a pediatric population.

Pacemakers may fail to properly regulate patients’ heartbeats near certain appliances and tools that generate electric and magnetic fields, a German study suggests.
