iPod Causes Issues With Pacemakers?


Filed Under iPod News

In “Internet time” this iPod story is old news. But perhaps you missed it. According to a story originated by the Reuters news agency, a study conducted by a high school student concluded that the iPod can interfere with pacemakers. The student presented his study to a meeting of heart specialists last week, which explains the sudden media explosion.

Excerpt:

The study tested the effect of the portable music devices on 100 patients, whose mean age was 77, outfitted with pacemakers. Electrical interference was detected half of the time when the iPod was held just 2 inches from the patient’s chest for 5 to 10 seconds. -Reprint source, PCMag.com

In addition to the media hype spawned by this iPod “study,” there has been some good humor as well. Take, for example, this mock news story about a combination iPod / pacemaker called the ekgPod.
