Comparative effects of extremely high power microwave pulses and a brief CW irradiation on pacemaker function in isolated frog heart slices.

Pakhomov AG et al. · 2000

Researchers compared extremely high power microwave pulses (EHPP) with low power pulses (LPP) at 9.2 GHz on isolated, spontaneously beating frog heart slices. Both exposure types produced the same temperature rise because EHPP train duration and average power were matched to LPP. The effects were proportional to heating, fully reversible, and reproducible with no delayed or irreversible effects observed. A single EHPP train or LPP immediately decreased the inter-beat interval in most cases. Temporary arrest of beats could be observed when microwave heating exceeded physiologically tolerable limits, regardless of exposure type.

Character of the effect of microwave on conduction velocity of frog ventricular muscle.

Yee KC, Chou CK, Guy AW · 1994

Researchers investigated the effect of microwave exposure on conduction velocity of frog ventricular muscle. Thirty-two frog hearts were divided into four groups and placed in temperature-controlled waveguides with Ringer's solution. One group served as control while three groups were exposed for 2 hours to pulsed 2,450 MHz microwave fields at SARs of 0.003, 2, and 6 W/kg. No significant difference in conduction velocity was found between control and exposed groups.
