What Are The Chances Of Survival With Defibrillator?
My husband chances for survival is getting an fibulator, as his heart sometimes feels like it is stopping. He only has about 25 percent of oxygen and is real tired. Is there chance surgery may be too dangerous? Can he wait 3 months and be allright? Thanks

Mam your information is patchy, but still it appears that his heart is weak, functioning to 25% and he is advised for ICD.
certainly he should get it done because such patient are at risk of arrhythmia which can be dealt with shocks given by ICD. No body can predict when that arrhythmia will occur so it's difficult to say whether he can wait or not. arrhythmia may or may not happen, nobody knows.
