Defibrillator question
Defibrillator question
Hello All,
I had triple bypass March 11th. My ef went down to 15 and has not gone up. They tell me I have a severely damaged heart and am lucky to be here.
My cardio and my heart failure Doctors both recommend a defibrillator.
Am worried since my EF is so low I will have complications or not even survive them putting it in.
Anyone have a defibrillator and also anyone have one put in with a low EF???
Thanks
I have and icd and it is scary at times but will save your life if u are not close to a phone and are having chest pain will slow your heart down to save u from a possible heart at3
My EF was 12% a year ago. It is now 38%and rising.
I had a defibrillator/pacemaker implanted 9 years ago. It has saved my life repeatedly. God bless you.
My EF went to 20% and after the ICD it is now 36%.
I was not put completely under during the surgery because they did not want any complications and could hear the doctors and feel it slightly but am very happy it's there
My EF was 47 at my last echo before my surgery thanks to entresto
Went down to 15 after surgery.
Has your vest ever shocked u???
