Echo
I just had an Echocardiogram done today Friday Aug 30th. My EF is now at 33%. My Cardiologist looked at my last one 6 months ago, and my EF was 35%. So now my Electrophysiologist has to decide on when I need a defibrillator/pacemaker combo, since I'm paced.
Thank you for sharing. How do you feel about this? Was this an outcome that you knew might happen or did it come as a total surprise? How are you processing it? Do you know anyone with a defibrillator? In our community, we actually have a number of individuals with defibrillators, or ICD's. In fact, here is an article a women wrote about getting her ICD. https://heart-failure.net/living/getting-icd I hope this helps! How do you feel about getting one?
