Not many long possession side effects. The leads they put into your heart will increase the risk of adjectives heart problems developments a small amount according to studies. There is this uncomfortable metal box within my shoulder that itches if I do a lot of repetitive movement beneath load near that arm. The hospital takes 350 plus dollars per checkup for the ICD and specifically only done beside a nurse, no doctor present at the checkup. Otherwise there really isn't much for problems.

My doctor is pushing an ICD too. So I did some homework - they usually hold to be replaced every five years. Long term effect? IF they work when needed they will keep hold of you alive.
