May warrant device interrogation after unexplained shocks near electric razors; leaves open the prevalence of insulation defects enabling household EMI.
Case Report (n=1)
Electromagnetic interference from household appliances like electric razors can cause inappropriate ICD shocks in the presence of an underlying electrode insulation defect.
Seifert‐Held et al. (1995) conducted a case report in Recurrent ventricular tachycardias with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (n=1). Electromagnetic interference from an electric razor was evaluated on Erroneous discharge of implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Electromagnetic interference from an electric razor caused an erroneous discharge of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator due to a defect in the electrode's insulation.
