Good Day,
I had a ICD for 5 years before a had a Crt-d install.
I just have a CRT-D device done on June 11 2013. My EF was at 38 on Noveber of 2012 all was good... but in Feburary of this year it went down to 25 ... That is why they put a crt-d device in me..... My question is how long should it take for me to srart feeling better . Right now a have trouble walking for about 2 mins............... 8 months ago a was working out for over 1hr ever day. Please need some feed back Thank You.

Cardiac Rehab may be very helpful for you. It's almost a month so you may need a few adjustments to your device as well. We are all different in recovery time and what settings work best.

Talk to your Doctor so he/ she can work with you on getting the right settings for you.

Hope you fell better soon!

That's FEEL better!

You trust technology more than your heart.

I finished 29th in London in 2 hours 20 minutes 30 seconds which is my fastest with or without a device so clearly it didnt slow me down ! I had no problems apart from some slight chaffing on my scar - more Vaseline next time.
