Albatrosss Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I have one of those. if ICD was placed, it was not a cardiac arrest. he probably overworked himself, heart went into tachycardia and he lost consciousness. He was shocked to normalize the heart rate. Could be fatal if ever happens again, but with ICD he'll get shocked if it happens again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 My dad lived for 15 years after he had the defibrillator installed. My brother was a big fan of maxing out performance in the weight room by any means necessary, causing a "cardiac episode" along with genetics probably.And he's had one for about 5 years and has lived relatively normally. No reason Bowmeister cannot resume a normal life but without hockey, and do so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason Bowmeister cannot resume a normal life but without hockey, and do so quickly. Gotta be tough leaving the game this way. He was approaching retirement age anyway, but still. At least he's grossed over 70 million dollars in his career. Pretty good way to live a low key life with a defibrillator installed. Hope he makes a full recovery so he can do so.

I was on the elliptical and went all crazy without a heart rate monitor which I usually wore. Heart rate went to 220. Dr put ICD in just in case it happened again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 As a conditioned athlete he has a good chance to live a normal life. Anyone that has experienced first hand, heart related issues will appreciate any help received. My sweetie-pie and I went out to Burger King last PM and savored a delicious prior to viewing the NYR beating up on Columbus. Very yummy....
