Abstract
Most UK cardiac device policies do not reflect current best evidence. Policies are based on research carried out in 1994 by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine. This evidence does not account for advances in cardiac implantable electronic device technology. Further research is urgently needed to establish the effect of radiotherapy on these devices.
