This week we review the notion of sports participation in athletes who have ICD's. Is this a safe approach? How do the athletes fare? How do the devices stand up to sport? What are the subtleties of discussing this important topic with a family and how does shared decision making work in this process? We review this serious and complex topic with Dr. Rachel Lampert, Professor of Medicine at Yale University and Dr. Elizabeth Saarel, Professor of Pediatrics - The Cleveland Clinic. Both experts have much to share about their experience in this important work on how to potentially improve the quality of life for our ICD patients. doi: 10.1161/CIRCEP.118.006305
