MedicalResearch.com Interview with: Dr. med. Carsten Lennerz, M.Sc. Deutsches Herzzentrum München München  MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? What are the main findings? Response: Knowing that strong electric motors cause electromagnetic fields (EM) and  that CIED (Cardiac implanted electronic devices) may malfunction due to electromagnetic fields raises serious concerns when electric cars are considered. Moreover the use of electric cars for private and public transport is increasing and thus the question of safety is becoming more and more important. 108 CIED patients drove and charged 4 commercially available e-cars on a roller bench test (simulating road driving in a safe environment). There were no adverse events and no electromagnetic interference was detected during driving or charging of the cars. (more…)
