Mashup Score: 0High-power electric vehicle chargers safe for people with pacemakers, defibrillators - 1 year(s) ago
High-powered chargers for electric vehicles are safe for people with implantable cardiac devices, with no evidence of clinically relevant electromagnetic interference, researchers reported. High-power charging stations for electric cars have the potential to create strong electromagnetic fields and cause electromagnetic interference in pacemakers and defibrillators, leading them to malfunction,

Mashup Score: 4Are you or a loved one living with a heart device? We welcome your feedback on a Cochrane review! - 1 year(s) ago
Implantable medical devices, such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), are surgically implanted beneath the skin of the chest and remain in contact with the heart to help restore the heart to normal rhythm or to help prevent sudden cardiac death. Further details about implantable heart devices are available here. People who have received a heart implantable medical…

Mashup Score: 2
A few weeks ago, a patient of mine experienced a cardiac event — his heart stopped. Completely. However, his implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) did exactly what it was designed to do — it shocked him and it saved his life. There was just one problem, my patient had no idea that his heart had stopped or that he had been shocked because he was asleep.
