My bud driver friend has a ICD decided to hit him and myself which is a life saver for me because it determines my own heart was going slow and his ICD detected a arrithimmia and hit him with me shocked 🤯😳 me Lynn is very scary. Never hugged someone else if there ill 🥶🤧 and there ICD decided to shock them and you as well as me and I had a nasty bruise on my chest area. My heart doctor told me after talking to Benny about his heart beat and why ICD decided to go off as we hugged at the time.

I have one ICD since four years. I'm very satisfied because my life is absolutely normal.

Is an ICD is failsafe enough for low LVEF with myocardiopathy.

Me neither. I just had my ICD implanted 6 days ago. No one said anything about driving except no driving for 2 weeks. SMH
