Question for ACM/ARVC folk: Nocturnal ectopics/PVCs
Quick backstory: I was diagnosed with ACM (formerly known as ARVC) in August and had an
ICD
fitted 8 weeks ago, following a dangerous sustained VT episode in early August. Overall, I am feeling better with each week that comes.

My Generation
. ✋ My name is Sam and I joined here a few months ago after being told that I'll be having an
ICD
unit fitted. Well that unit was fitted yesterday (29th of September, the day before my 63rd birthday) and all went well and I came home on the same day. Can I please ask a question.

Subcutaneous icd
Hi folks,I now have a date in October for a subcutaneous
icd
. The one with the lead not going in to the heart. As it is being implanted a year after my heart attack I presume I will be barred from driving for a month, not six months post op? Anyone had any problems after this procedure?

My ICD works: Mind blown and feeling wobbly
My
ICD
did its fast pacing (ATP/anti-tachy pacing) earlier this week. I've only had the device for a couple of months. It quickly and safely brought me out of a dangerously fast arrhythmia.

ICD: Going under the bonnet again
My post-implantation journey had been going reasonably well until I noticed a tiny hard lump protruding just where the leads enter my subclavian vein. It was very small to begin with and appeared within a couple of weeks of surgery. I thought it was subcutaneous sutures and so left it be. I called it

Finally got some information on the treatment for FND
Also look up the medical
ICD
or CPT codes prior to calling the insurance, because they might ask for it. I know because I have had to look them up via Google prior to calling.

Happy New Year.......
In November i had an MRI scan which thankfully showed no sign of the clot, then an
ICD
implanted. This all came out of the blue for me and was terrifying. My darling wife has been wonderful in caring for me. Suffice it to say i'm happy to see the back of 2023.

Towards the end of 2022 he had an
ICD
fitted and the heart failure nurse increased his ramipril to full does with the intention of putting him on entresto. He had an echocardiogram (this year) in January 2023. We didn't find out the result until November.

Confidence
I had an
ICD
fitted in 2013 after my heart peaked at 345bpm according to the HRM in the back of the ambulance. The device did its job 6 months later after an episode and kicked 15 times rather than the recognised 3.

ICD fitted
I had an
ICD
fitted in June of this year and it's nearly time to apply for my driving license, I have a form for my consultant to fill out but not sure if after they have filled it out do they send it back to me or send it straight to the DVLA as I have to fill out a form myself to reapply for my license

ICD - DVLA rules says LV EF >35?
Implantable defibrillator
ICD
and DVLA - the driving regulations says the LV EF must be over 35? Is this right? So if you get a 1 month ban say if the
ICD
does pacing do you then need to prove an EF above 35? If so how? Will the cardio order an echocardiogram?

Re USA psychiatrists wanting to keep FND in DSM so they can claim their fees via the DSM codes ... according to DSM there are no DSM codes.
The codes appearing in DSM-5 in addition to the
ICD
-10-CM codes were
ICD
-9 codes. These codes are no longer valid since
ICD
-10-CM codes replaced them in the United States starting October 1, 2015. Clinicians should use
ICD
-10-CM codes to submit claims.'

What is life like with an icd?
I'm a very active person. 44 years old. I love to run. Is that still possible? What can I expect? Any information would be greatly appreciated... So daunting.

No diagnosis - still in hospital on my 34 th day!
Early rush to diagnosis , perhaps with extreme hospital pressures was for an ischaemic event(90% of similar events) and a decision to implant an
ICD
( defibrillator). However,I was symptomless , and the echocardiogram came back heart structures and EF okay.
