I'm thinking they put them on the left due to being closer to your heart (my wife's is on the left, but she's right handed, so never really thought about which side). She has had one for years so don't remember any placement discussions.I have to get an ICD defibrillator implant this week and I’m wondering if anyone has one that’s been able to continue shooting. I’m considering asking them to put it on my right side (I’m left handed) but I’m not sure even that’s an option, or if it will make any difference. Thanks
