Implication

Hypothesis-generating for EMI-induced inappropriate ICD shocks from surveillance systems; larger studies needed to quantify risk.

Structured PICO

Does exposure to electronic surveillance systems cause inappropriate shocks in patients with ICDs?

Population

1 patient, 60-year-old man with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (Medtronic 7219D)

Intervention

Exposure to electronic surveillance system (electromagnetic interference)

Outcome

Inappropriate discharge/shock from ICDsafety

Electronic surveillance systems can cause inappropriate shocks in patients with ICDs due to electromagnetic interference.
