It is called pacemaker to ensure uninterrupted heartbeat to those people who have had heart problems, including surgical treatment. Possibly, it has something which can go wrong when exposed to microwave!

Microwaves interfere with the electronic in the pacemaker, which regulates the heart rate. Also a danger are devices that emit high frequency electrical discharges, like certain welding machines.

A microwave becomes an intense heat very quickly. Old ones that have the sludge of the ages in them are toxic and should be thrown out to the nearest dumpster. I don't have one in my home or want one which may sound odd but its worth it to me.
