Neenee,
Then that is why you have it " as a safe guard "
Like many of us , our AiCD's may have not fired , but they are a life saver and all it takes is one time. I understand that more and more are having them post myectomy.
My recent experience is that when I needed it for a-fib; low rate, ( once they put a new working wire in) the pacer component of my AICD, worked to bring my heart rate back up to a safe range. There are many "safe guard" reasons for having an AICD.
Glad you have the protection your doctor deemed necessary.
