Experiences with

Ventricular fibrillation

Hello, I care for my partner (hi is 70) with heart failure and he has Atrial Fibrillation that occasionally sets off Ventricular Fibrillation. Luckily he has an ICD device that helps and keeps him alive thank goodness. I was wondering if anyone else had this and if anyone has stomach issues?

He has a dangerous left ventricular Fibrillation and Atrial Fibrillation. Just wo Deri g if anyone can relate to this, it's traumatising every time his ICD shocks him, it's like our lives are on hold , no previous heart problems ever, he had just turned 54 .

Hi all , Just joined , I have an inherited faulty gene ( not Levi's ) that can when activated cause A/F. A few of my family also have this gene , a couple have activated and have had a small defibrillator fitted to manage the AF if it should re occurs. Cy

I started noticing loud sounds in my left ear at the beginning of the year when near traffic, restaurants, crowded places, Ambulances etc. I can’t hear people talking to me when there are background noises and I don’t know why it has happened. I have been tested and I’ve lost the low sounds in my left

NICE recommends using a remote digital heart failure system, developed in Manchester, to help reduce hospital admissions. This new approach of monitoring health data collected from patients’ pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) could potentially dramatically reduce heart failure-related

Hi, I'm a new member with a specific question. I have a range of heart issues, an implanted defibrillator, heart medication including Edoxaban anticoagulant, atorvastatin and bisoprolol. I have also had my gallbladder removed. Last week I tested positive on the bowel screening test (England) and have

My sICD went off last week and since then my heart rate when walking seems much higher than it usually is. Does anyone know if this is a possible after-effect of the shock and, if it is, whether it will last long?

My 73 old mother had a horrific experience of her device activated. She is living in fear and I was hoping there was someone out there who could share their experience, advice to support her.

I had quadruple by pass and defibrillator implant in January. I still get a lot of pain and discomfort from my sternam. Is it normal to last so long.

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a device that monitors the heart rhythm continuously. If the heart starts to beat dangerously fast the ICD is able to detect this and treat it, potentially saving the person’s life. Do download this info sheet 'An implantable cardioverter defibrillator

My husband has heart failure , pace maker defibrillator his ef was at 20% have read on nhs about plan and contact numbers but have no advice about this . Does anybody have this in place thanks

Ok I’m slightly panicking, as I’d rather not kill my husband (yet)… Bought the wellue ecg recorder (24/72) and it arrived today. I’m keen to use it as we have the first EP appointment in a weeks time. But… I appreciate they give the standard “readings might not be fully accurate with pacemaker” -
