May necessitate pre-implant compatibility checks in LVAD candidates; leaves open incidence and mitigation strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the potential for critical electromagnetic interference between HeartMate 3 LVADs and ICDs, which is important for electrophysiologists and heart failure specialists to recognize prior to implantation.
Sehatbakhsh et al. (2017) conducted a case report in End-stage systolic heart failure with LVAD and ICD (n=1). HeartMate 3 LVAD and ICD was evaluated. Electromagnetic interference can occur between the HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist device and implantable cardioverter defibrillators, which is critical to understand prior to implantation.
