About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects that electromagnetic field exposure from using a tablet and smart phone have on a leadless pacemaker (MICRA device).

Full description

With advancement in technology, people are exposed to new sources of electromagnetic field like tablets and smart phones. There are magnets in smart phones and tablets that could affect the functions of pacemakers. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of electromagnetic field exposure from using a tablet and a smart phone with participants that have a leadless pacemaker (MICRA device) implanted inside them. Participants will be asked to report any symptoms that they experience during the testing.
