Is electrical stimulation safe from causing electromagnetic interference in patients with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators?
Electrical stimulation of the lower limb appears relatively safe in patients with cardiac devices, but caution is advised until larger safety studies are conducted.
Badger et al. (2017) studied this question.
