How long have you had your ICD for?

Hi,

found quite a bit on pacemakers but nothing on the ICD board.
So just wondering how long have you had your ICD for?
First set of leads? Any major Problems?

And for all the "electrical Disease" sufferers (LQT, Brugada and so on) like me, any change in Heart Function through shocks or otherwise Device related?

Cheers
Chris

BTW:
(Any other members living in Germany?)

Hi!

Don't have an ICD, but a pacemaker since I was 18 years old (now 31). Am German, and live in Berlin. Where are you?
