An abdominal implant site may require some additional caution in contact sports such as rugby, martial arts, or football, where there is a risk of a direct blow to the abdomen. Whether specific activities are restricted will depend on your underlying condition and your cardiologist’s advice, not solely on the implant location.
Discuss any sport or physical activity you want to continue or take up with your cardiologist before returning. A body protector or pad worn over the device may be recommended in some circumstances.
