MRI scan with compatible pacemaker, CRT-D or ICD
I have a CRT-D device implanted which is MRI compatible. It looks like I might now need an MRI scan of my head - most likely under private health care. Does anyone know what extra arrangements, if any, are needed to have an MRI scan with an implanted heart device (one that is compatible with MRI scanners

Ablation happening soon
Hey everyone So back in march I had an abnormal rythym detected by my
ICD
. I had an emergency meeting with a cardiologist about having an ablation. I honestly freaked out due to some horrible experiences, he put my mind at rest.

After the condition was finally diagnosed I was given an
ICD
as insurance against a potential arrhythmogenic issue. In 2017 insurance policy paid out when I had a VT storm where
ICD
fired 60 times in 45 minutes. Having been taking Amiodarone since then.

Are Pool and Sauna dangerous with ICD?
I am 59 with paroxymal afib with a pacemaker/
ICD
. For the last 3 months, I had been using saunas. However, this week as I suffered covid, I took a hot bath. I got shocked multiple times by my
ICD
. Now, I definitely will stay away from saunas!

Experience with tapering Neupro, Dopamine Agonists, and managing DAWS
With my neurologist's assistance, I am currently tapering off the Neupro patch (10mg) due to severe impulse control disorders (
ICD
) over the past year.

Echocardiogram
No results though as its my 1st since having an
ICD
fitted. I am disappointed and relieved at the same time! My husband is super and my absolute rock. He is sure my heart is getting stronger because I am not sleeping so much in the day, so thats enough for me!
