I had one of these fitted last January 2011 after a cardiac arrest, and my heart went into VF. I am now campaigning for AED,s in public places. Click on FB and type it in.

I'm 35 and got my ICD implanted 1 month ago(12-02-11). I have done ablation but as I have diagnosed with AHC since my 18s. Now I'm living very well. This implant is an eternal life secure.

I'm 53, had major heart attack in 04, triple heart by-pass in April , now cardiologist recommends that I have one implanted. I've had a episode just the other day and was admitted to the Hospital with out of control BP. Everything is OK for now, but now considering going thru with the Defib.. So I'm still looking for all the info I can find about it.
