Question:
Is there risk going in the sun for an extended period of time with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator?
Answers:
Manufacturer's literature and "training" have not indicated sun exposure is an issue on my defibrillator, Boston Scientific.
However, some of the drugs I take (Lasix) cautions against exposure to sunlight.
If you get badly burnt, it really impacts the body and no doubt effects the heart. Take precautions.
