Interference of Electronic Apex Locators with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

Abstract Introduction The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the potential electromagnetic interference of electronic apex locators (EALs) on implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Methods Four different EALs were tested for their ability to interfere with the correct function o...
