Hi
When the ejection fraction, or the pumping effect of the heart reduces,there are chances that the person lands up in sudden arrhythmias,or blocks even with minimal exertion,due to poor effort tolerance.
That's when intracardiac defibrillator with pacemakers are implanted,whatever said is battery which was explained to you.
This device is better and safe,as it automatically senses the danger rythm and reverts it.
So,please go ahead with the procedure.
All the best.
