Does an implanted cardiac defibrillator preclude use of MIG and TIG,
particularly TIG with HF?

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

Contact the manufacturer of the ACTUAL unit. Talk to the folks who do
the testing and see what they say. You don't want to talk to the normal
customer service script readers.

The doctors will likely say NO because they don't know and want to cover
their asses.
