An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a small device powered by a battery, implanted in the chest. Its primary function is to detect and halt irregular heartbeats, known as arrhythmias, by continuously monitoring the heartbeat and delivering electric shocks when necessary to restore a regular heart rhythm.
An ICD may be recommended if you have a dangerously fast heartbeat, such as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. It may also be prescribed if you are at high risk of experiencing dangerous irregular heartbeats, often due to a weakened heart muscle.
It's important to note that an ICD is different from a pacemaker, which is designed to prevent dangerously slow heartbeats.
An ICD, or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, is a type of cardiac therapy device. There are two primary types:
A traditional ICD is surgically implanted in the chest, with wires (leads) connecting to the heart.
Beneath the skin on the side of the breast, beneath the armpit, is a subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD). It utilizes a sensor, known as an electrode, which runs along the breastbone. Unlike the traditional ICD, the S-ICD does not directly contact the heart. It is larger compared to the traditional ICD.
