May cause pacing inhibition in unipolar pacemakers; hypothesis-generating for ICD and bipolar device safety.
Does repetitive nerve stimulation cause electromagnetic interference or pacing changes in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices?
Repetitive nerve stimulation appears safe in patients with ICDs and bipolar pacemakers, but can cause pacing inhibition in pacemakers with unipolar sensing.
Cronin et al. (2012) studied this question.
