May warrant caution around EAS magnets in paced patients; leaves open real-world risk and need for in vivo confirmation.
Does exposure to electronic article surveillance systems cause dangerous interference in pacemaker patients?
Magnetic fields from electronic article surveillance systems can cause dangerous prolonged inhibition in dual-chamber pacemakers, highlighting the need for pacemaker-safe EAS designs.
