As the number of implanted pacemakers and the incidence of malignant tumors increases, the probability of radiation-mediated pacemaker dysfunction increases. Radiation can substantially damage pacemaker electronics. We report here a case, with loss of communication after radiation therapy.
随着植入式心脏起搏器数量的增加以及恶性肿瘤发病率的上升,辐射介导的心脏起搏器功能障碍的可能性也随之增加。辐射会严重损害心脏起搏器的电子元件。我们在此报告一例放疗后出现通讯中断的病例。
