Summary

It is not known if the use of high power charging systems for electric vehicles may interfere with the functionality of implanted pacemakers and cardioverter-defibrillators.

Detailed description

The use of electric cars for public and private transport is increasing all over the world. Moreover the charging technique is improving and enables very fast charging with the use of high power. It is not known if the use of high volume charging systems interfere with cardiac implantable electronic devices. The study evaluates different types of high volume charging systems connected to different full electric vehicles with regard to electromagnetic interference with implanted pacemakers or cardioverter-defibrillators.

Conditions

• Pacemaker
• ICD

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Electromagnetic Field Exposure	All participants were exposed to the electromagnetic field of 4-5 different high power charging systems, charging 4-5 different, commercially available full electric cars
