How is it using power tools, guitar amps, flying, going through metal detectors, etc.?
I have not gotten one yet. It keeps getting postponed. My EF has gone to 30% from 15% in a year and a half. I am very anxious about it. Thanks for all the input.
Anyone getting a second stent ? Anyone have Dr John in Chula Vista, CA

Not at all because we all have a spectacular place already created for us in heaven.

The pain I am experiencing is usually an 8 out of 10 on a daily basis. I been experiencing this pain since surgery. They thought it might be that I was allergic to the metal used in the surgery, but I had that removed in December 2022, with no decrease in the pain. My doctor has referred me to a pain management specialist, but where I live and the insurance I have is really making it difficult to find someone. I am not one who usually takes pain meds but I am at the end of my rope dealing with… read more

Do magnetic fields from Stereo Speakers or power tools, etc., interfere with the ICD?
Thank you
I had an ICD placed in 2020 because of lower ejection fraction (HF) is was 15 percent, now 40 still low. I was wondering has someone ever had their ICD removed if their condition improved, I know normal EF is in the 50's and 60's, but can decrease again so an ICD can be permanent. I forgot to ask my cardiologist have some ICD been removed. I know they removed them if you are in hospice or any situation like that. I just wish they were sometimes temporary. Take Care all.
