The function of the ICD is to detect excessive rate of heart beat and direct the extra energy to the muscles of the heart so that they can gain their normal pace. A higher shock of energy is given to patients if the heart starts to beat too fast and at a dangerous level. A patient may need an ICD if there is a ventricular arrhythmia.

So I will keep it short- had some ANGINa like symptoms when i was 24- suspicion was lower, but got a CT angio done- perfectly normal ( 2024 November) A year later started getting JAW discomfort and some more typical symptoms - this time invasive angio done- again normal but with the mild myocardial bridge Taking bisoprol 5 mg- quality of life became quite better after a normal result since the anxiety removed- but now I am having symptoms, especially pressure and happiness in my neck and choking sensation- worst when I get up and when I lie down I was wondering if a stress echo is needed right now? Mainly for assurance? These episodes do not create any change in the ECG or trop i levels
