Late Lyme and ICD implantation EF
by coastguy, Nov 27, 2007 10:38PM
Hello, I have fought Lyme disease for many years. Last year I suffered an MI and underwent a triple by-pass. The MI caused damage to my lower heart with scar tissue. My EF went from 45% at surgery to the current 35%. They have suggested that I have an ICD implanted with a single lead to a lower heart chamber as insurance should I experience another heart attack. I am concerned about having an ICD implanted especially after fighting Lyme disease. Can you make any suggestions? I am 56 years old. Many thanks!
