I am a nurse
practitioner and mother of 3 kids. I went through a six month ordeal with
refractory ventricular tachycardia that took everything important to me and
came very close to taking my life. The recurring arrhythmia eventually was
discovered to be caused by the implantable defibrillator (ICD) lead that had
been placed in my chest to protect me from sudden cardiac death. It was
removed and I have been completely cured for over 1 year now. The physical
and emotional scars still remain but hopefully they will continue to improve
over time. I created this site to
share my story and offer support and information to those who need help but
may not know where to turn. I welcome questions or comments. Knowledge is power. The message board has
been removed due to incessant spam. Please join my yahoo group at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/vtpatients/ I hope that you find
the answers you are looking for. J |
