What would be the cost if you had to change your icd and you only have medicare coverage.

I’ve been doing a bit of soul searching & research deciding if I should get an ICD. Since I am at high risk of sudden cardiac death. I have finally decided to go through with it because my doctor keeps telling me I need it and not having it is really starting to cause me a huge deal of anxiety. Anyone have any thoughts?

Tbh I think its a huge waste of money… and can cause even more anxiety half of the “life saving” shocks administered aren’t even life saving there what is called “inappropriate”… read more

Hi sorry for all the recent posts and questions lately, but I’m concerned and confused about some of my recent tests results...I have been referred from my cardiologist to meet with a cardiac surgeon for a second opinion, but I’m really getting confused

I'm 70 years old, also have Anemia of Chronic Disease and severe sleep apnea. I know I have to make a decision. Just need some feedback.

My cardiologist would like me to get an ICD implant but I have been too scared and indecisive. Now it appears I am a candidate for a CRTD implant which in addition to the defibrilator will improve my heart function and I'll feel better. I'm planning to give him the go ahead Monday. I was wondering if anyone here who has had this surgery can tell me what your recovery was like and if you regret getting one? Thank you.

I am having pain and swelling in left arm going to hand and fingers... R/O other reasons for problem...I am at wits end... I am wondering if I should have device removed.....thank you for any insight......
