The Arrhythmics – A Pacemaker and ICD Support Community
We are a community for patients (as well as family and friends) with pacemakers, implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD), or wearable cardiac defibrillators (LifeVest). Our group is focused on bringing together patients and their healthcare team to provide support and discussion through our Facebook group and quarterly meetings.
