What Kind Of Lifestyle Is Advisable With Bi-ventricular Icd?
I have watched my EF tumble down from 45 to below 25. I assume that means above 20. I have a bi-ventricular ICD that does lots of things for my heart. It keeps my pulse above 76. I find that I sleep a lot and can do very little activity. Does this sound like life with an EF of 25? I had a ventricular resection in 2001 and have been in A fib ever since. I can experience other A rythmias at times, usually while sleeping. Thanks!
