@jc76 I guess I'm a pacemaker newbie compared to you, I received my pacemaker in June of 2019. I just have a pacemaker, not a defibrillator as so far I've had no issues with ventricular tachycardia. I got the pacemaker for bradycardia- I had tachycardia issues as well but most often these were what the EP identified as atrial tachycardia. The A-fib showed up once in 2015, ( a-flutter, actually) and the A-fib started showing up in short episodes around early 2021, I think it was. I've never gotten my pacemaker reports, I guess if I asked for them I would get them, but I haven't. But I've been notified by telephone by my cardiologist's office when there was an "actionable event"- this would be an incident in which the provider needs to take action for a patient, ie, a change in medication, further testing or something like that. I got the notification to come into the office and see the cardiologist after a pacemaker report of a couple A-fib episodes lasting several hours each, that's when he started me on Eliquis. Sounds as though your clinic was concerned about your V-tach enough to call and inquire about it- thank goodness your ICD/pacemaker was there to stop it.

I think my last pacer check showed around 3 years battery time.
