Description
This study aims to investigate the impact of high-intensity power-frequency magnetic fields (MF) on cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), particularly in workplace environments with strong electromagnetic fields (EMFs). While theoretical models and numerical studies have assessed interference risks, limited experimental approach exists. In this work, we have developed an experimental setup with MF exposure and a CIED-implanted phantom in a controlled environment. The induced voltage at the device input was measured to evaluate the interference on the CIED under MF exposure. Our findings indicate a linear relationship between induced voltage and MF exposure, with good agreement between theoretical calculations, simulations, and experimental measurements. This study contributes to the risk assessment for CIED users in high-intensity MF environments. Future work will explore more complex configurations to refine and expand the results.
