Detailed Description:

MiroCam (IntroMedic, Ltd, Seoul, Korea) is a small bowel capsule endoscope using human body communication for data transmission. There is a concern of potential interactions between cardiac devices and capsule endoscope. This clinical study was designed to evaluate the potential influence of the MiroCam on cardiac pacemaker and implantable cardiac defibrillator.
