Hi I had my ICD after 2 HA left me with low LV function. I feel very well and I’m told by the technician that I am hardly using it. Can I ask has anyone had a general anisthetic with these conditions ?

My ICD is also barely used. I haven’t needed a general anaesthetic, but as long as the anaesthetist is aware of it, there won’t be any problems.
