icd

The icd was implanted in 2019,nov. Vstat. It has not fired at all since implant. My question is, has anyone had it fire when there was nothing happening. Like a defective firing. Could it be possible that if my heart rate stays normal it may never fire?

Many people have an icd for years and it never fires. That's a good thing! It's there as an insurance policy and we hope to never need it. 

Firing incorrectly is very rare.

I have a well tuned pacer. I hardly know I have it. I am 76 year old, hike and camp alone in the desert. I have more energy than I have had in a long time. The only problem is my wife wants to have a knob installed so she can turn the pacer down.
