Hi,

I'm a 67 yo male who was recently diagnosed with HCM and had a Medtronic Cobalt dual camber device (defibralator and pacer) implanted 4 weeks ago as Preventative for VT/VF. I've had NSVT and other atrial arrythmias and have other markers in risk stratification which is how I now find myself "in the club". I'm on two antiryhthmitics which I hate but understand the reason's why.... I'm an avid advanced waterskier who's out on the water 5 days per week and just wondering if anyone has experiecne, good or bad, with this type of recreation. I got the green light from both my Advanced Heart Disease Cardiologist and my EP who did the surgery prior to implant surgery and I'm up on the impact issues with the device and leads. There's snow on the ground so I'm a couple of months out from when we normally start up so thought I'd throw this out. Thanks, Mark
