Electromagnetic waves emitted by smartphones and could cause and would greatly disturb the operation of the pacemaker
causing untimely stops generating electric shocks to Holders according to this study. Electromagnetic waves of smartphones are they dangerous for pacemakers?
It is in Milan, Italy, during the very serious congress of the European Association of Heart Rate and Cardiostim, that the report of this study was unveiled. It is shown that the activity of smartphones, including the issued electromagnetic waves can have a direct impact on cardiac pacemaker device type.
The authors of this study, "The pacemakers may mistakenly interpret electromagnetic interference (EMI) smartphones as a heart signal, which may cause a brief stop of the device." They then explained that: "The implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), meanwhile, interpret the external signal as a ventricular tachyarrhythmia that endangers life. So they sent a painful shock. "Disturbances in pacemakers are rare but can occur
Specifically, this study was conducted on a group of 308 people, including 147 carriers of pacemakers and 161 ICDs holders. They were all subsequently subjected to interference of various phones, like the HTC One XL, Samsung Galaxy 3 or the Nokia Lumia. 3400 interference signals were sent to the "guinea pigs" and there is a possibility of creating a dysfunction of cardiac devices since one patient had his DAI disrupted during the experiment.
So the conclusion of the experts is: "The interference between cardiac devices and smartphones are uncommon, but they can still occur. Current recommendations on distances between portable devices and need to be reassessed. " For now, the safety advice therefore remain the same for holders, namely call with the ear opposite the heart and keep the two devices close to each other (not in the front pocket of a shirt or a suit jacket for example).
