I have a Biotronik PM/ICD. Fortunately I don't use the PM part much, and haven't had to use the Defib yet!!!

Welcome to the group!

Thanks

There are more than a few of us here. I have an ICD too (CRT-D) since 2008. Welcome to the club!

I have not needed a replacement yet and am holding off for as long as I can. :-)

I sure do. I have a Medtronic bi ventricular ICD have had it since 2012. I have also developed afib which has made me get defibed 7 times but was put on Tikosyn In April 2014 and I haven't been defibed since December. the icd has helped me not be so tired. Welcome to the club.

I have a Medtronic pacemaker/defib just put in February 2015. It feels strange but I know it is right for me as I have ARVC a rare heart condition.
Best wishes and welcome!

My ICD/pacer is not a burden. I still play tennis and golf.
