Reuters is running a story that says an iPod held closely to a person with an implanted pacemaker can disrupt the heart regulating device from sticking to its own beat, in one case actually stopping it altogether. The study was conducted by a 17-year-old high school student in a Michigan student. When held at 2 inches from the pacemaker, a disruption occurred about half the time.
The report did not say what music was being played.
