    Electromagnetic interference from deep brain stimulators (DBS) is known to cause high-frequency artifact on some forms of cardiac telemetry.1 Here, we (1) present a unique case in which a DBS caused a low-frequency artifact mimicking typical atrial flutter leading to referral to electrophysiology; (2) demonstrate a method to confirm this; and (3) provide recommendations of how to minimize artifact and work around this interaction in future rhythm monitoring attempts.
