dontcry commented on the word implantable cardioverter defibrillator
"Pacing: You may or may not feel the impulses -- usually they are not detectable.
Defibrillation: The shock feels like a kick in the chest but only lasts for a moment. Some patients describe the sensation as feeling like a shock from an electrical outlet. Most times, you will be awake when the shock is delivered, but on occasion, you may lose consciousness before the therapy is delivered."
