[Does thermotherapy of prostatic hypertrophy interfere with pacemaker function? - First results of a pilot-study].
In 8 patients with implanted pacemaker (3 unipolar, 5 bipolar systems) the risk of interference of a regular pacemaker function and an energy source with a capacity of 110 Watt and a frequency of 434 MHz was investigated. The results show that thermotherapy in patients with prostatic hypertrophy can be used without the risk of interference with regular pacemaker function.
