Hi everyone. I've had several Medtronics ICD's from 2002 after I survived a VT event following an MS Bike Ride. Also have a family history of sudden death. I've had a-fib episodes that have become more frequent this year and last night got zapped while on a ride after the ICD got confused between a-fib and v-tach. Over the years I've been shocked 3 times while on my bike and thankfully haven't crashed yet. In the beginning, it took the docs and techs a few tries until they got the ICD settings ironed out, but eventually they did. Don't give up if you are struggling with this and don't hesitate to ask them to bring in some help. It was another tech that eventually got mine figured out. I found this group while googling for some more info on cycling and ICD's. Figured I'm not the only one. Thank you all for sharing your experiences, it really helps! No need to stop cycling!
