Pacemakers - What can affect them? - Online interview

Descrizione:

Generally, when people ask me how will this affect my lifestyle, I would say after the first six weeks if everything heals, you should go back to doing all the activities that you want to do. There's nothing specific that we want you to avoid; perhaps [just] avoiding some devices that might interfere with the pacemakers." Pacemakers have the ability to greatly improve a patient's quality of life, however, it is important to know what can have a negative impact on the device. In our latest interview, highly-esteemed consultant cardiologist Dr Fu Siong Ng explains what to avoid in the weeks following the pacemaker insertion. The London-based consultant discusses what to expect once they have recovered and if patients should avoid certain deceives, like household devices, mobile phones or security gates in airports, exercise, and strong electromagnetic fields. 00:00 What precautions should I take with a pacemaker? 01:35 What can you not do with a pacemaker? 02:15 What devices interfere with pacemakers? 03:52 Why do people with pacemakers avoid strenuous exercise? 04:52 Why should patients with pacemakers avoid strong electromagnetic fields?
