What do I tell my worried partner?
An ICD or CRT-D is implanted to help you live as normal a life as possible. An ICD provides round-the-clock protection against sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). A CRT-D helps the heart pump more effectively whilst also providing protection against SCA. It may help to share information from this website with your partner, and to encourage them to attend clinic appointments with you so they can ask questions and feel more informed.
