Potential EMI thresholds warrant caution in device patients; leaves open need for clinical validation.
Numerical modeling demonstrates that worst-case 60-Hz magnetic field exposure induces EMI levels of approximately 40 microT for atrial and 140 microT for ventricular pacemaker electrodes.
Dawson et al. (2002) studied this question.
