How do anatomical and physiological parameters influence the interference voltage of unipolar cardiac pacemakers in low-frequency electric fields?
Individual anatomical and physiological factors can cause up to a 200% variation in interference voltage for unipolar pacemakers in electric fields, highlighting the need for individualized safety considerations.
Joosten et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Implanted pacemaker adjusted to unipolar sensing (n=15). External time-varying electric fields was evaluated on Interference voltage at the input of a cardiac pacemaker. Exposure to external electric fields caused up to a 200% variation in interference voltage at the input of unipolar cardiac pacemakers due to individual anatomical and physiological factors.
