Study Type In Vitro
Model 2450 MHz (PW) exposure to isolated frog hearts and analysis of effects on beating rate
Details

Isolated frog hearts were exposed to 2450 MHz (PW) RF at low (non-thermal) levels - pulse modulatation was synchronized with the ECG. The authors report no statistically significant effects on heart rate. Control experiments were performed to insure there were no effects of currents induced between the recording electrodes. As a control, increases in heart rate did occurr when applied current pulses between 20 and 30 mA were synchronized with the ECG during an interval from 200 msec to 300 msec after the peak of the P wave.
