Current guidelines for ICD patients in both Europe and the United States recommend against any competitive sports more vigorous than class IA activities, such as bowling or golf.
“Current guidelines for ICD patients in both Europe and the United States recommend against any competitive sports more vigorous than class IA activities, such as bowling or golf.89,90”
From Managing with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (2013) · cites this paper as [89]
The Special Considerations section recommends that athletes with an ICD be excluded from most competitive sports, except low-intensity class IA sports. This supports the restriction attributed to the U.S. recommendations, but the paper does not establish that European guidelines make the same recommendation or identify bowling and golf as examples. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThere are several postulated risks of sports, on which restrictions for ICD patients are based.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
