Abstract
It has been recognized for many years that the electromagnetic (EM) environment within aircraft presents a potential hazard to the subject with a pacemaker. Most of the information currently available is, however, several years old and may not be strictly revelant to modern pacemakers and the electromagnetic environment found in today''s civil aircraft. In mid 1986 it was therefore decided to investigate the effect on a number of currently available unipolar pacemakers of typical levels electromagnetic interference encountered in civil aircraft.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
