Is it true that heart monitors "record" cell phone calls?

Question

My father-in-law is wearing a heart monitor and he was told by a nurse that the cell phone would cause interference with the monitor and it would cause the monitor to not only record his heartbeats but his phone conversations as well. I think that this is not true but can someone give me some scientific evidence to back this up please??

Answer 1

you already had a professional tell you, what else do you want ??

Answer 2

omg lmao!!!!  heart monitors have nothing with which to record sound, while an older model cell phone can indeed interfere with a strong signal creating what we call "artifact" in the recording of the heart's electrical activity...it cannot be recorded, like a tape recorder...that's just ridiculous.  The newer model cell phone frequencies are set such that they almost never interfere with medical devices anymore.
