Only 20% of the device was working as they came from the factory with an inbot setting., this optimization was done on four computers. It set the device according to your health, your heart problem and this has made a tremendous difference in this device saving lives. My ejection fraction was ten. My heart very enlarge, more or less quivering instead of pumping. I could not bring my

Yes, I had a ICD for fourteen months before it was removed and replaced with the CRT-D St. Jude Device. Will give you a brief run down on history of this. I was on a Heart Transplant Work up when my Doctor told me he has something I may be interested in, would have to get into research. I go to the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans.

I see on your site that you were on the same site as I for Heart Failure....So Sorry to here Jon is not doing well!! He made an amazing impact on the way I chose whats meds and how I took control of my treatment . I found my voice and told my doctors that protocol was not for me, That made a difference on my longevity I think. Would love to hear more about your journey with this complicated road we both travel. Here's to a good day Diane.

Hi Diane, I have the same heart problem as you. A virsus settled in my Heart and damaged the lower part of it. I live in Gonzales, Louisiana. A small City between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. I am 71 years old and have four children and twelve Grandchildren of which I adore and spend all my time with. I was on a heart transplant list until I ended up on a CRT-D that not only saved my life but, gave my life back to me. Its amazing what I now can do. If you are interested I can go more into detail, let me know how you are doing and we both have the same thing caused at about the same time. Have \\\\a nice dk
