I’ve only ever had a biventricular defibrillator and pacemaker combo and it seems to be working very well! My EF is up to 58% and The Device has not shocked me but once! It Was a Doozy but it’s a lot better than the alternative and I know that should I go in to Cardiac Arrest my Pacemaker will keep my heart pumping until I can get Help!

I’m envious of all of you who have had their EF improved. Mine has been 10-15 for the past seven years. Neither meds nor the three lead pacemaker/defibrillator in my chest . But, I’m still here, relatively symptom free and independent.

It is a welcome mystery…In hospital Christmas of 2021 it was 10-15%…then after several months on Entresto and some other med changes it went up to 30% then 2 months after the ICD implant it was up to 58% My Doc said it was nothing short of miraculous! Give the implant some time!!!❤️❤️❤️

I was in and out of Atrial Fib and finally I can breathe easily and since it is a biventricular defibrillator and pacemaker I no longer have to fear dropping dead while alone! My Ejection Fraction has gone up from 30 to 58 and I feel alive again! I’m so happy that I got this device that I don’t have the words for it. Go and do it ASAP! I feel alive again!!!❤️❤️❤️😍
