Experiences with

Cardiac arrest

My chances of surviving the cardiac arrest were only 10% and I really feel my stars were aligned and that it wasn't my time to go. I feel so lucky that when I was in hospital I was on a ward with three other cardiac patients.

Following a cardiac arrest in 2010, I had my first ICD fitted and have stayed on a regime of Amiodarone. I had a second ICD fitted in 2019, this one a bi-ventricular with pacemaking. One shock in 2022 -after glitch with Amiodarone but otherwise stable.

I previously had a cardiac arrest almost 13 years ago after a heart attack the day before. I was aged 56 and only later last year has my EF gone from 40 to 35. Just wondered as it seems to me an ICD is for high BP patients although low BP is just as dangerous?
