Acute Effect of Mobile Phone on Cardiac Electrical Activity in Healthy Volunteers

Authored By:

p>This human provocation study investigated the effect of mobile phone on electrical cardiac activity. In the study, the heart rate and electrocardiogram (ECG) of one hundred healthy volunteers were recorded in three situations: without mobile phone, mobile phone switched on but not ringing, and mobile phone ringing (35 minutes). In the latter two conditions, the mobile phone (2G, GSM 900/1800) was placed inside the left pocket-anterior chest wall. There was no statistically significant difference observed in heart rate and ECG. The authors concluded that mobile phones have no significant effect on the measured heart rate and electrical cardiac activity when placed in close proximity to the heart in healthy subjects.
