Hi;
Please do start asking questions about other options. I self-referred to Mayo Clinic in Rochester Mn. I think a lot of them. If anyone can get to the root of this, they can.
Did you have Covid before this event? Heart damage can be a side effect of that.
Personal opinion-a lot of drs are “device-happy” and icds are also a great way for them to”cya” when they don’t know what caused something.
Please keep me posted; I’m very interested to hear what happens.

Yes I did have COVID before the event they did echocardiogram on my heart while in the hospital said my heart looked good and strong….yes when I got to ER on Sunday…on Monday the Dr that specializes in the electrical problems of the heart came in he was called in by my regular cardiologist…he immediately went to implanting the device..no discussion of other options or checking to see what caused my VT or anything just you need this device…I’m having a problem with and wish I had not had the device implanted…pace maker I understand I’ve had one of those since 2018 with no problems….
