Description
Summary:The implantable loop recorder has been shown to be a cost‐effective tool for diagnosis of intermittent cardiovascular symptoms such as syncope and palpitations. Electromagnetic interference in these recorders may be caused by commonly encountered electronic devices such as antitheft electronic surveillance systems and magnetic resonance imaging cameras. In this report, we describe interference in two patients with implantable loop recorders from a portable digital media player.
