@deniseheart Thank you, again for bringing awareness of the Womenheart, a 501 (c)(3} organization to all who read your posting. It seems to be an online place for women who have experienced heart attacks and and has created a wonderful opportunity to connect and discuss and help each other. ICDs certainly play an important role for many of us, in my case to control arrhythmia after a septal myectomy. Anytime we experience a health crisis we are placed in a scary and unknown place without a road map. Are there groups that meet in person, perhaps to go for walks and have a heart-healthy lunch afterwards?
