Here is something a little odd.

I'd imagine that by design your pacemaker sends pulses to your heart muscles, this would also cause electromagnetic radiation, hence interference from the monitor.
 
Its just another way for the pharmaceutical companies to track you, and slowly release bacteria into your bloodstream keeping you sick and hence in their pocket!

My pacemaker interferes with my sister's baby monitor. I am no expert, but I thought things that only sent signals could do that. :eek:

A lot of things produce electromagnetic interference. At work we've found that the lights cause interference to our test equipment.
 
A lot of pacemakers now have the ability to transmit information - yours in most likely one of these models. And as already stated a basic one could produce the interference anyway. New pacemakers connect wirelessly and are also firewalled after a proof of concept showed how naughty people could have 'fun' with them.

I find that concerning. What is there to stop a malicious programmer from creating a virus that targets pacemakers?
