CorePace Module 4: Troubleshooting Interference falls under two categories: Electromagnetic interference (EMI) Skeletal myopotentials (noncardiac signals) Oversensing may occur when EMI signals are incorrectly interpreted as P- orR-waves. Sources of EMI are often found in hospitals and include surgical/therapeutic equipment, such as: Electrocautery Transthoracic defibrillation Lithotripsy RF ablation TENS units MRI is generally contraindicated for pacemaker patients. Exposure to a magnetic field may produce high-rate pacing that results in ventricular fibrillation and may damage the circuitr
