Does an implanted cardiac defibrillator preclude use of MIG and TIG,

My limited web research indicates not but I'd like to see more data.
Here's what I've found thus far:

Don, NO ONE is going to say its OK - there might be a 0.000001%
probability that it isnt - so they will automatically say NO. This
applies to most situations, especially when your trying for, say, a
building or planning permit.

My approach is just to say "****it" and go ahead and do it. Your
family can always get a refund on the thing if you kark it....

No, seriously, if it was a problem, it would have surfaced by now, so
give it a go - if your worried, have someone nearby who can do CPR if
its a lousy guess......
