In-vitro effects of modern radiotherapy regimes on cardiac implanted electrical devices
This study demonstrates asynchronous mode can reduce the frequency of CIED malfunctions during EBRT. However, clinical context, risks and benefit must be evaluated per patient. While some current guidelines potentially compromise plan quality to reduce dose to the CIED, the use of asynchronous mode may provide planning options, which more closely align to non-CIED cases.
