Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) is a sophisticated medical device designed to monitor and regulate heart rhythm in individuals at risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. Implanted beneath the skin, typically near the collarbone, the ICD continuously monitors the heart's electrical activity. In the event of a dangerous arrhythmia, the device delivers precisely timed electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rhythm. This crucial intervention can be lifesaving for individuals with conditions such as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Additionally, modern ICDs often incorporate pacemaker functionality, further assisting in maintaining a steady heart rate. The ICD's capability to provide both defibrillation and pacing makes it a versatile and vital tool in the management of certain cardiac conditions, enhancing the overall quality of life for those at risk of severe arrhythmias.
