kimk,Glad to hear you were at a great place when it happened. (Sorry it had to happen at all, though.) I also went into sudden cardiac arrest in Oct. 2015 and had an ICD implanted and have had no episodes or anything in the 1 1/2 years since. Best of luck to you and glad your situation turned out so well. I wake up every day happy and thankful for this technology and especially my family who was at home when it happened and performed CPR until ambulance arrived. Happy re-birth! :-)

Kathleen T,What an inspiring story. So many with cardiac arrest do not survive. It sounds like you were meant to be here. Enjoy your second chance at life!

Marioernesto,
hi i just had sudden cardiac arrest last Friday June 29, 2018. My daughter did CPR right away after i was collapsed inside our apartment. Fire fighters and Paramedics tcame then ook over. i was revived thanks to my daughter and fire fighters and Paramedics. i am admitted in the hospital then in Coronary Care Unit. Last Saturday between 2-3am i had another cardiac arrest. Now my vitals are stable but still not out of the woods yet. My team of doctors are still figuring out what causes my cardiac arrest.
I am diagnosed type 2 DM, heart failure (bypass 2010), Kidney failure (Dialysis started last year), Colon Cancer then Liver cancer after. Now they are figuring out what course of action to do. They will talk to my Oncologist to know my prognosis whether poor or good. then if its good they might do cardiac catherization which is invasive procedure. but the problem is my Oncologist is on vacation right now she will be back July 11. My two daughters mentioned about EPS. so my question now is between the two procedures EPS and Cardiac Catherization, which is more i need. and which is more less invasive procedure. July 11 is too long for me to wait. i am so confused and i need some advice from this group. thank you so much.
i am so thankful i survived the two SCA episode.
