Hi
My husband has VT and due to it being unstable he had an ICD fitted . He has a device by his bed which downloads data as he is having times still where the ICD needs to pace the heart . When he visits the hospital in January he needs to go get the memory cleared. Can anyone shed some light on this .
Hello and welcome to the forum! Your husband has a combined ICD/pacemaker fitted which records events related to either function when they come in to deal with rate and/or rhythm issues. Whilst the data is downloaded regularly it is not usually cleared at that juncture. The memory needs clearing in the same way that you have to delete programs from a video recorder's hard disk to prevent it filling up.
Thank you . That makes sense .
