Effect of eletromagnetic radition on heart

radiation?

No.

If you could see it, you would realize that every electric or electronic anything, including the wiring in the walls, is generating an electromagnetic field. 

You yourself are generating electromagnetic fields, as are the earth and the sun.

Your electric blanket which is lying directly atop you for eight hours a night gives you far more exposure than a laptop or cell phone.

If it did, half the population would need a pacemaker. Sometimes it's genetic, sometimes medication, infection, or surgery can lead to electrical cardiac conditions, but more often than not there is no known cause.

Electromagnetic fields (EMF) and the heart

Certainly the effect of mobile phones on the brain has been studied and no effect has been found. Even more interesting is the fact that I was brought up near to power lines ( you could hear the buzz from my bedroom window) . I have a pacemaker, as did my Mum. I don't think there is any supporting scientific  evidence of damage to humans from EMF associated with power lines, other than perhaps a slight increase in the incidence of leukaemia ( See http://www.who.int/peh-emf/project/mapnatreps/nznrl_emfbooklet2008.pdf      for a detailed review). 

Howerver, , short-term exposure to sinusoidal EMFs (5-8 Hz) in adult and old male rabbits for 15-120 minutes causes mild decreases in the ECG heart rate if exposure lasts 60 minutes. Old rabbits developed extra beats.  One study examined the difference between pulsed (PEMF) and alternating/sinusoidal (AMF) field effects on the hearts of dogs, exposed for an hour per day for 10 days. The AMF caused marked changes in heart dynamics: decreased ventricle function and increased peripheral resistance and end diastolic pressure in the right ventricle, as well as, left ventricular work. Systolic blood pressure (BP) and contractility and heart rate still decrease with PEMFs, but are less marked. Thus, use of PEMFs may be less aggressive for cardiac problems than sinusoidal fields.

( I could not find any refs. within this discussion: https://www.drpawluk.com/health/electromagnetic-fields-and-the-heart/)

I doubt whether such low levels of EMF associated with mobile phones could be extracted on a study basis from background EMF ( the scientific community struggled to do so for leukaemias). So, at present, the answer to your question is, "No".

so Selwyn is saying No it didn't cause your heart issues, unless of course you are an old Bugs Bunny

Not unreasonable to ask, "What's up, Doc?"!

Pulsed EMF's

Selwyn:  Kinda interesting about pulsed EMF's & their effects.  In reality, if you do a spectrum analysis on a periodic, symmetrical pulsed EMF you will find that it is, in reality, a whole bunch of sinusoids.  The basic frequency of the spectrum is a sine wave that matches the period of the pulse.  Th e remainder is a whole slug of sinusoids that are higher in frequency in order to flatten the top & square the sides.
