icd

The icd was implanted in 2019,nov. Vstat. It has not fired at all since implant. My question is, has anyone had it fire when there was nothing happening. Like a defective firing. Could it be possible that if my heart rate stays normal it may never fire?

Many people have an icd for years and it never fires. That's a good thing! It's there as an insurance policy and we hope to never need it. 

Firing incorrectly is very rare.
