DAN? Are you mad?
Go and see a proper diving doctor who will examine
you and give you personal advice based on your condition.
The answer may still be 'no' but at least then you are sure.

I'd say talk to your cardiologist and ask him/her to talk to a diving
specialist about your case in particular.

You may find that you can be cleared for shallow warm water diving but
I would think that anything more taxing may be ruled out...

Just my thoughts...
