Although the ICD&#8217;s work and purpose differ from pacemakers, ICDs are considered the most effective way to treat serious heart problems involving an irregular heartbeat or in case of life-threatening arithmetics. Furthermore, the programming of ICDs is done to keep you safe whenever your heartbeat becomes dangerously irregular. In contrast, the pacemaker is a steady hand-guiding device that requires regular maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Q: Can you live 20 years with a defibrillator?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many heart patients with defibrillators may live as long as any person with a healthy heart.
