According to a recent worldwide survey, current rates of de novo pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation are higher than those of previous years at> 700 000 and> 200 000 per year, respectively. 1 Parallel to the growth in cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) use, technological advances have led to new sources of electromagnetic radiation. Modern CIEDs utilize shielding, filters, and bipolar leads to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI). Nevertheless, EMI sporadically results in harmful consequences. Physicians attending to patients with CIEDs must be aware of typical EMI sources and strategies to prevent malfunction of CIEDs.
