Zusammenfassung

Mobiltelefone können bekanntermaßen durch die Abstrahlung von elektromagnetischen Feldern zu einer Fehlfunktion von antibradykarden Herzschrittmachern führen. Eine Beeinflussung von pektoral implantierten Kardioverter-Defibrillatoren (ICD) erscheint somit theoretisch ebenfalls denkbar. Wir untersuchten 15 Patienten mit subpektoralen «single-lead» ICD-Systemen (Cardiac Pacemaker Inc., Ventak PRX III und Ventak Mini) auf Veränderungen von programmierten Parametern sowie Störungen der Wahrnehmung, Stimulation, Arrhythmieerkennung und-beendigung ducch die Benutzung eines D-Netz Mobiltelefons. In allen durchgeführten Tests zeigten sich dabei keine Beeinflussung der ICDs während Stand-by-Modus, Verbindungsaufbau und Gesprächsführung. Somit scheint die Benutzung eines GSM oder D-Netz Telefones für Patienten mit subpektoralen ICD-Systemen der untersuchten Art keine Gefahr darzustellen.

Summary

The use of GSM or D-net mobile-phones has been proven to disturb antibradycardiac pacemaker function by electromagnetic fields. Therefore interference between these phones and subpectroral ICD-systems is conceivable. We investigated effects on programmed parameters, sensing and pacing, as well as detection and termination of arrhythmias in 15 patients with pectoral single-lead ICD-systems (Cardiac Pacemaker Inc., Ventak PRX III and Ventak Mini). During all tests, including stand-by mode, incoming and outgoing calls and transmission, no malfunction of the ICDs occurred. In conclusion, the use of a D-net mobile phone (European GSM-standard) by patients with subpectoral ICD-systems of the tested types seems to be safe.
