Electromagnetic Interference from Left Ventricular Assist Device in Patients with Transvenous Implantable Cardioverter ‐Defibrillator

ConclusionsEMI from LVAD impacts ICD function, although, the incidence rate is low. Physicians implanting both, LVAD in patients with ICD (more common) or ICD in patients with LVAD, should be aware of possible interferences. Telemetry failure not resolved by metal shielding was overcome by ICD generator replacement to a different manufacturer. In most cases, LVAD ‐related noise resolves spontaneously.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
