With all the noise about EV’s not wanting to have AM radios because of the signals being emitted by the car, I have wondered if there is any effect on pacemakers? Has any science been developed to follow about that?
"QUICK, Griselda! Your dad's having a heart attack. Pull the defibrillator out of the dashboard and bring it here! Quick, honey!"
"But mom, the car battery is dead. We didn't plug it in last night."
This is particularly interesting. My husband had a cardiovascular/defibrillator implanted for eight years. Never had one event or blip, just weeks before during a checkup his cardiologist even commented that it might not have been necessary. In 2009 He sold a large HYBRID Cadillac Escalade SUV to a good friend and went to the service area to make sure it was perfect for delivery. The large battery area was open and he leaned in to look, almost immediately his defibrillator went off and and subsequently another eighty times until he got to the ER. A long story but eight months later he had a heart transplant. . It might have been a coincidence that he was very close to the the battery compartment when it happened, we always thought it had something to do with it, did a little research and there were a few studies at the time that alluded to possible issues.
