It's a combination pacemaker/implantable cardioverter defibrillator.

The surgery only took two hours and I was released the following morning.

I'm not suppose to lift over 10 pounds or lift up my left arm above my shoulder up for two weeks.

My heart beat was irregular and heart ejection fraction was down to 35.

I'd like to know DU'ers experiences with similiar devices.
