You are correct in that assumption. Both pacemakers and ICDs have a little "box" which is the device that also contains the battery, with lead(s) that go into the heart. I'm oversimplifying but pacemakers are typically for bradycardia, but it could be either since ICDs have pacemaker functions these days. ICDs are more commonly preferred.Lucinda shared more info about her time in the hospital. She had organ damage from going into cardiac arrest. She was put into a coma and had surgery to have "a little box" connected to her heart (pacemaker? implantable defibrillator? medfags?).

Anyway, doesn't sound like this was any sort of a wake-up call for her. ICDs/pacemakers are not foolproof and IIRC over half of ED-related deaths are due to sudden cardiac arrest. PL but somebody at my job recently passed after a bit in the coma after experiencing SCA and he had an ICD. He was in his 60s, and Lucinda is so young. This is just sad.
