Needless to say Paramedics were called and she was transported to the nearest hospital.
Her Cardiologist had told her that one day, the Defib. would save her life. It did. Six times in one day.
Her chest was sore for two weeks. The down side is she lost another 20% heart function. She has regained 10% of that back at this time.

A heart ablation? Tell me about the treatment. I've never heard of this.
