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.

Thank you for your email.

too have been told I have first degree heart block; but have not heard of
the system you mention (CRT-D). Still having trouble with frequent stumbles
and falls, despite being extraordinarily careful. I don’t faint, lose
consciousness, no dizziness, just fall. Of course, three of my
medications’s labels say: “may cause dizziness or loss of balance,” and
MDs say I need them - no available substitutions. ‘Tis a puzzlement !
