defective leads in ST JUDE ICDS

i would just like to make people aware of ST JUDE ICDS that were implanted with faulty leads. in general you should have received a letter if you were implanted with one of these devices. still, to verify you can visit riatacommunications.com to see the list.
i have also noticed that law firms are already preparing for class action suits.

Recent update about this- the HeartRhythm published a study that blames 22 deaths on the riata/riata st. So far, it's not looking good for St. jude:

Yesterday was my first day mountain biking after my implant. I wiped out several times and everything is fine. There are sports after pacemakers!
