Randomized Controlled TrialDo media players cause interference with pacemakers?
Electrical devices generate electromagnetic fields that may interfere with pacemakers. Media players cause telemetry interference with pacemakers, but it is not known whether they cause direct interference with pacemakers. The purpose of this study was to examine the interaction between pacemakers and 3 different media players. ⋯ Media players cause telemetry interference with pacemakers, but they do not directly interfere with pacemaker function.
