I Contracted A Staff Infection And My AICD Implant Had

I contracted a staff infection and my AICD implant had to be removed. My heart is currently at 20EF, the implant I opted out of being replaced because I had no episodes in over 5 years. I started taking carvedilol and I have blown up like a balloon. What is going on. Was the AICD maintaining the balance?
