A member asked:

Can you tell me how is life after icd implant in people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in new delhi.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

New Delhi?: I've never been in New Delhi, so I can't comment on life there. Other than feeling a chunk of equipment in the shoulder where the ICD is implanted, life should be unchanged. If it EVER goes off, you'll be alive (whereas without it, you would be dead). Think of it as a guardian angel sitting on your shoulder.

Dr Munshower and another doctor agreed
