CHF

What is the survival rate if a congestive heart pt does not want to have a pacemaker/dif.
placed?

[often]

I doubt that can be answered.....but I didn't want one either...fought it for a year....silly me....what a difference it made in my life.  I have never been shocked...but if I ever am, it will mean that I would have died had I not had it.

The survival rate will depend on a lot of other things, but CHF patients are at a higher risk of sudden cardiac death....

Think about it.

ditto often.  BIG difference.
