I asked my doctor the same question.  I was told they are safe to use, just don't put it directly over the pacemaker.  Have used one without any problems.  Same with electric blankets.

Are heating pads safe with a pacemaker?

Dear pacer16, look at the App "ERPM" on Googleplay (the app store for android smartphones). It has the answer: heating pad are considered harmless. I give you the link.

recently, I had a sore upper back, and being very tall, I could not find a "long" enough pad.  finally found one, the length of 24 inches.  Have used it for aobut two weeks straight at night. No problems at all. My back feels outstanding, and I have had no efffects from the pad.
