Guidance needed for decision making of implanting ICD

[Surbhi28]

This year in January, I go the MRI done. My MRI reports are suggesting I have wall thickness of 18mm in mid anteroseptal segment, dyskinetic true apex (apical aneurysm) and LGE in basal to mid anterior and septal segments amounting to >30% total myocardial mass. The faulty gene identified is MYH7.

I do not have irregular heart beats, never had unexplained syncope and not sure about SCD in my family. I do experience frequent chest pain.

I have met few Cardiologists in India and I have got a mixed response in suggestion for an ICD

Some says its Critical, and some says its my choice and I can choose not to have it

I need some guidance into if I should get an ICD and will it be a wise decision?

I really feel that, for us non-medical amateurs, we cannot have an opinion. This is a forum for people with (or looking after people with) heart related problems who can give sympathy and maybe hints as to what helped them. Not advice,

You could ask the BHF itself?
