sorry, AME = aviation medical examiner,
actually, with a AICD you run less a risk of 'sudden cardiac death' than a 'normal' person; 'cuz, basically you have a portable ACLS [Advanced Cardiac Life Support] team -sort of- right there!!! 24 hours a day , most folks don't. and today's devices
1.keep the apointments pertaining to the scheduled checks of the device,

2. inform the folks if for whatever reason there might be-that it is there, if you need an MRI-scan-they'll ask-but just in case .

One PACK Maybe Operated On Take-Off Without a Thrust Penalty
