Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
An implantable cardiac debrillator helps improve the heart function when ejection fraction is less than 35%. With your EF less than 10%, this is a life saving situation for you. However the prognosis, duration of life etc depends on several factors beyond the scope of net diagnosis and estimation. Please consult your doctor about this. Hope this helps. Take care!
