Hi Shunmugam,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us all.
I am sorry to hear that you suffered a stroke earlier this year - I trust you
have made a full recovery and are now fighting fit.

I am a little unclear of what you mean by the 'link between therapy and stoke'.
Are you referring to your ICD therapy and possible connections with the risk of
stroke?

How has everything been with your ICD device? Have you experienced any further
episodes of V.Tach since the events in October 2007?

Bye for now,
Ben (Arrhythmia Alliance)
