Does movement near an MRI scanner bore induce electromagnetic interference affecting pacemaker and ICD sensing?
Movement near an MRI scanner bore can induce significant electromagnetic interference in MR-conditional pacemakers and ICDs, leading to inappropriate therapy changes.
Mattei et al. (2016) studied Pacemaker and ICD oversensing. Movement near the MRI scanner bore was evaluated on Sensing function reaction to motion-induced electromagnetic interference. Movement near an MRI scanner bore induced electromagnetic interference at angular velocities ≥2 rad/s, causing inappropriate pacing inhibition and arrhythmia classification in PMs and ICDs.
