The advancements in ICDs and Pacemakers had been dramatic. Most now have limited issues with MRIs, electrical equipment, etc. Airports have gone away from using electrical screening for metal to screenings that are approved for those with ICD/Pacemakers.

I see some post about getting cardiocoversions and mentioning pacemakers. Do you mean ICD? A pacemaker does not shock you back into rympthm it is to pvovide an electrical trigger to your heart muscle to "pace" when it gets to low, to high, and or a problem with normal sinus rympthm and you need a pacing of the heart.

And ICD is a device that monitors your heart rympthm and can detect issues that need to have your heart shocked back into rympthm. I have had about 10 shocks over the 20 years I have had a device.

The only problem I have now is my ICD/Pacemaker wires that were implanted back in 2006 are not MRI compliant. I am looking forward (3 more years of battery life) into the new improved version coming up.

I have a home monitor device called Latitude. The new ones do not require a box like device and sends your device information to your medical provider using your phone. The new ICD and pacemakers or a dual device have gone through so much improvements over earlier models.
