View Original AbstractUltra-wideband electromagnetic pulses showed no immediate heart effects in rats, but long-term impacts remain unstudied.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed anesthetized rats to ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulses (extremely brief, high-intensity bursts of electromagnetic energy) to see if it affected their heart rate and blood pressure. They found no significant changes in cardiovascular function during the brief exposures. This suggests that short-term exposure to these specific types of electromagnetic pulses may not immediately harm the cardiovascular system.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Lack of effects on heart rate and blood pressure in ketamine-anesthetized rats briefly exposed to ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulses.
Fourteen Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to pulses produced by a Bournlea ultra-wideband (UWB) puls...
Exposures at a repetition frequency of 1 kHz for 0.5 s or to repetitive pulse trains (2-s exposure p...
These results suggest that acute whole-body exposure to UWB pulses does not have a detrimental effect on the cardiovascular system.
