A member asked:
I have a medtronic linq cardiac loop recorder in my chest. is it safe to use a hair dryer near my chest with this device?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Loop recorder: The fields created by a proximate hair dryer could cause artifactual recordings. They are unlikely to cause any arrhythmias as the recorder isn't delivering impulses to the heart.
