I have been 100% pacemaker dependent for 24 yrs. in July of 2007 I received a ICD with my new pacer due to ef of 20%. I have slowly returned to 40-45% and do well most days.
My last implant was July 2012 with out any problems
I have had the care link since 2007 and in the past year have had about six episodes of v-tach anywhere from 8-59 seconds. I was aware only of the 59seconds.
My question is: when does care link pick-up and notify the pacer office. They seemed as surprised as me that anything was going on. I asked if they had been notified and the answer was only the significant events. So what is the events??
I was made aware at my regular six months appointment
I have a Medtronic Protecta

Each clinic has custom alerts set up, So that's where you need to start. Find out from them what triggers the carelink to escalate an event. I can't imagine that they would have a 59second VT not on that list, so the question is...who's monitoring you and are they doing their job.
