Because I have struggled so much in last two business trips I have been wondering how long I can continue to travel like this or even work. I guess I should still feel lucky, as I am now 4 years into my heart failure diagnosis.
Now a new research study has just been published stating that an ICD shock event foretells a much closer death possibility. Apparently the article was publiched in the Sept. 4, 2008 version of the New England Journal of Medicine. A news link is here: http://www.dotmed.com/news/story/6901/
I understand all the caveats that every case is different, but i must admit the way this year has gone for my case it is not a happy piece of news.
Sorry that this post is not very uplifting.
