"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." ...

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 ...

Lower sensitivity and bipolar sensing recommendedLike implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) before them, pacemakers were found to be susceptible to interference from electromagnetic ...
