Key result
Physiotherapy in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices can potentially cause electromagnetic interference and device dysfunction, requiring appropriate safety measures.
Why the study?
What are the safety measures and risks of electromagnetic interference when using physiotherapy in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices?
What are the safety measures and risks of electromagnetic interference when using physiotherapy in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices?
This review highlights the mechanisms of electromagnetic interference and necessary safety measures when applying physiotherapy to patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices.
Clinicians should assess EMI risks before physiotherapy in CIED patients; review extends safety knowledge but leaves open prospective validation.
The factors that can potentially cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) during various methods of physiotherapy are considered. The mechanisms of CIED dysfunctions caused by EMI and safety measures for the use of physiotherapeutic treatment are discussed.
