Pacemaker interference

Bryan Reed

Just how badly designed are pacemakers if you can mess with them by putting, up to a foot away, a piece of electronics that's (1) very small, (2) very low power, (3) all low frequency (no radio components in there!), (4) well enough shielded to satisfy government requirements

the actual pacemakers are pretty well shielded in a metal case.

Its most likely the pacing wires that are embedded in the heart muscle (and the heart muscle for that matter) that are being affected.
