Do silicone breast implants interfere with ECG findings?

HI,There should not be a problem with EKG leads and breast implants.Regards,Daniel A. Medalie MD

Thanks for your question! The answer is no, I'm not aware of silicone breast implants interfering in any way with an ECG. However, feel free to confirm that with your cardiologist. Best of luck to you! 

In my experience it's not a major interference as the EKG pads are often put just UNDER the breast, not on the breast (or the implant).

Thank you for your good question.I would suggest your let the technologist know you have breast implants but high-cohesive silicone gel breast implants do not interfere with ECG (electrocardiogram) testing.Kind regards,Dr. Marc DuPere, aesthetic plastic surgeon 

Thanks for your question.  No, silicone gel implants do not interfere with ECG findings. Best of luck. 

Hi, thanks for posting your concerts and the answer is no, any type of breast implants can interfere in the ECG. Good luck

Breast implants of any type, including silicone gel, should not have an impact on EKG results.  If you have abnormal results on an EKG, you should follow up with your physician immediately.

Hi plasticS96 and thank you for your question.  Silicone gel implants should not impact EKG readings so long as the EKG leads are properly placed.  With that said, any abnormal EKG result would warrant clinical follow up and additional testing to ensure the health of your heart.  I hope that you find this helpful.

Thanks for your inquiry,  if the leads are placed properly--it should not interfere with the EKG, good luck.  

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Overall the likelihood of any meaningful and clinically significant ECG changes is insignificant or at least very small.  Hope this helps.
