Do electronic antitheft-surveillance devices cause electromagnetic interference in patients with implantable defibrillators?
Electronic antitheft-surveillance devices pose a safety risk to patients with implantable defibrillators by potentially causing electromagnetic interference and inappropriate shocks.
Santucci et al. (1998) studied this question.
