My understanding is with that level of muscle damage your heart beat could become irregular with a chance of it causing a heart attack. I suggest you go along with the guidelines and have it fitted.
I have a icd and don’t notice it’s there.
I take it Government Guidelines are NICE ?? If they reckon you could benefit from an ICD go for it, it seems like a no brainer.
