Implantable Defibrillators
Know About Treatment
Implantable defibrillators, also known as implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), are small medical devices implanted under the skin, typically near the collarbone, to monitor and treat abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that can be life-threatening. The device is designed to detect dangerous arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, and deliver electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rhythm, potentially saving a person’s life. Benefits of ICDs include: – It can be lifesaving, improves quality of life, and long – term management.
