[External interference of cardiac pacemakers (author's transl)]. 1978

E Gams, and E Feder, and W Heimisch, and H Meisner

The pacemaker patient is faced with potential origins of interference to the pacemaker function in his daily life, at his working place and during medical-therapeutic interventions. Technical faults in the electronic circuit induced by external sources can be neglected. Malfunctions of synchronized cardiac pacemakers may occur in the presence of electrical signals similar to the intracardiac ECG (e.g. nerve stimulators) or by the influence of high energy electrical field (e.g. pulsed electromagnetic fields). Technical improvements like metalshielding of the unit, electronic filtering components and automatic conversion to fixed rate stimulation increase the reliability to a high degree.
