Device uncovered one episode of asymptomatic Afib and asymptomatic continual nocturnal bradycardia with pauses and restarts.

Recovery from implant and removal minimal (7-10 days) with usual cautions RE: wound care. Scar barely visible.

I have not heard about some of these problems. I had eanlarged, complete heart block, no native rhythm and 6 pacemakers put in since 1992z had vtach and after a scare they put in a CRT-D. Made by Boston Scientific it is a cardiac resynchronization therapy with pacemaker and defibrillator. I use a Latitude monitoring system and this has been working quite well since 2018. I go to device clinic quarterly and they
Remotely view rhythm streets and will call me if they see anything unusual. I also take blood thinners (Eliquis), and a cocktail of drugs
Daily. Good luck to you all.
