I know a guy who had that same thing implanted, and for the same reason. I wasn't there when he collapsed, but I knew him through a martial art. He did return to that after the fact, and I was not super pleased. It's not that he wasn't a good guy or anything, but you're participating in a physical activity with someone who you're afraid might collapse at any second. He always assured me (and others) that this couldn't happen because that pacemaker would immediately fire (or whatever), but still...it's a little weird.
