Hello Barbara34,

I’m not an expert, but when I was fitted with a CRT-D I was told if it went off I would need to get to A&E asap! If you can’t get through to your cardiac team, if I were you I’d call 999. They’ll soon tell you the situation. Better to be safe than sorry!

Best wishes & keep us updated.
