Magnets May Pose Serious Risks For Patients With Pacemakers And ICDs
Magnets may interfere with the operation of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), according to a study published in the December 2006 edition of Heart Rhythm.
Researchers found that while common magnets for home and office use, with low magnetic strength posed little risk, stronger magnets made from neodymium-iron-boron (NdFe may cause interference with cardiac devices and pose potential hazards to patients. NdFeB magnets are increasingly being used in homes and office products, toys, jewelry and even clothing.
"Physicians should caution patients about the risks associated with these magnets," says Thomas Wolber, a cardiologist at the University Hospital of Zurich in Switzerland and lead author of the study. "We also recommend that the packaging include information on the potential risks that may be associated with these types of magnets."
Two spherical magnets of eight and 10 millimeters in diameter and one necklace made of 45 spherical magnets were tested on 70 patients, 41 with pacemakers and 29 with ICDs. Magnetic interference was observed in all patients. The cardiac devices resumed normal function after the magnets were removed.
In an accompanying editorial, Huagui Li, M.D., a cardiologist at the Minnesota Heart Clinic in Edina, MN., writes, "This study is timely and important to attract the attention of both the public and the medical profession about the potentially serious health consequences of magnets used in decoration products - for an ICD patient, the magnet interference can be fatal."
Dr. Li concludes that manufacturers who use magnets should be required to put warning labels on their products for optimal patient safety. 本人已认领该文编译，48小时后若未提交译文，请其他战友自由认领。 Magnets May Pose Serious Risks For Patients With Pacemakers And ICDs
磁体对于带有起搏器或ICDs患者危害严重

根据《心律》杂志2006年12月的一篇文章，磁体可能会干扰起搏器和埋藏式复律除颤器（ICDs）的工作。
Researchers found that while common magnets for home and office use, with low magnetic strength posed little risk, stronger magnets made from neodymium-iron-boron (NdFe may cause interference with cardiac devices and pose potential hazards to patients. NdFeB magnets are increasingly being used in homes and office products, toys, jewelry and even clothing.
研究人员发现，低磁力的普通家用和办公用磁体带来的风险较小，而磁力更强的铷铁硼磁铁（NdFeB）可导致对心脏装置的干扰并对患者产生潜在的危害。NdFeB磁铁在家用和办公产品、玩具、首饰甚至服装中的应用正在增加。
"Physicians should caution patients about the risks associated with these magnets," says Thomas Wolber, a cardiologist at the University Hospital of Zurich in Switzerland and lead author of the study. "We also recommend that the packaging include information on the potential risks that may be associated with these types of magnets."
“医生们应当告诫患者这些磁铁所带来的危险，”瑞士苏黎士医院的心脏病学家，该研究的第一作者，Thomas Wolber说，“我们还建议这些磁铁在包装时应当标明具有潜在危险的信息。”
Two spherical magnets of eight and 10 millimeters in diameter and one necklace made of 45 spherical magnets were tested on 70 patients, 41 with pacemakers and 29 with ICDs. Magnetic interference was observed in all patients. The cardiac devices resumed normal function after the magnets were removed.
已在70名患者身上测试了两块直径为8到10毫米的球形磁铁和由45个球形磁铁做成的项链，这些患者中41名配戴起搏器，29名配戴ICDs。在所有患者中检测到了磁干扰。当磁铁被移走后，心脏装置可恢复正常功能。
In an accompanying editorial, Huagui Li, M.D., a cardiologist at the Minnesota Heart Clinic in Edina, MN., writes, "This study is timely and important to attract the attention of both the public and the medical profession about the potentially serious health consequences of magnets used in decoration products - for an ICD patient, the magnet interference can be fatal."
在一篇同时发表的社论中，在Edina, MN明尼苏达心脏诊所的心脏病学家Huagui Li博士写道，“该研究非常及时和重要，它可使公众和医务人员对在装饰产品中使用的磁铁引起重视，因为这些磁铁对ICD患者存在严重建康隐患，可造成致命的干扰。
Dr. Li concludes that manufacturers who use magnets should be required to put warning labels on their products for optimal patient safety.
