ICD (Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator)
An ICD is a small device placed under the skin to monitor dangerous heart rhythms. When the heart beats too fast or irregularly, the ICD delivers a quick shock to restore a normal rhythm. It helps prevent sudden cardiac arrest and keeps high-risk patients safe every day. Signs you may need one are mentioned below.
Fainting episodes from fast rhythms
Very weak heart pumping function
History of sudden cardiac arrest
Repeated episodes of ventricular tachycardia
Severe palpitations with dizziness
High risk of fatal arrhythmias

Patients Also Ask
Clear answers to the questions patients commonly ask about heart rhythm care.
How does an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator work?
An ICD pacemaker device is a small implant that detects dangerous heart rhythms and delivers timely shocks to prevent sudden cardiac arrest.
How is ICD device implantation done?
During ICD device implantation, the doctor places the device under the skin and connects it to the heart to monitor and correct fast, life-threatening rhythms.
Who needs an ICD for sudden cardiac arrest or heart failure?
People at high risk of dangerous rhythms or those needing a defibrillator implant for heart failure may benefit from an ICD.
What is the difference between single chamber ICD and dual chamber ICD?
A single chamber ICD connects to one heart chamber, while a dual chamber ICD supports two chambers for better rhythm coordination.
What should you know about ICD surgery cost and ICD vs pacemaker?
The ICD surgery cost depends on device type and hospital care. Unlike a pacemaker, the treatment also involves ICD shock treatment to stop dangerous fast rhythms.
