Pacemaker

I work in the foodservice industry and I will be getting a pacemaker. I have to walk into storage freezers quit often to pick up product. I usually am not wearing heavy clothing when I go into the freezers (just a regular jacket). Do the below zero temperatures affect the pacemaker?

....love it; you will shiver.

Electronics like to be kept cool. People like to be kept warm. Batteries like to be warm, also, but it will never get cold enough inside the PM case for the battery to cool down to the point where it is affected.

I'm 43 and have had my pacemaker four weeks today. I'm looking forward to living another 50 years and this marvelous device inside me will help me do that.
