Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in Electric and Magnetic Fields of 400 kV Power Lines

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy has increased in Western countries. The aim of the study was to investigate the function of ICDs using a human‐shaped phantom in electric and magnetic fields of 400 kV power lines.
