Implantable Cardioverter/Defibrillator

Implantable cardioverter/defibrillator is commonly referred to as an ICD. This device continuously monitors the heart for rhythm and is implanted in patients who have had ventricular fibrillation (VF) or ventricular tachycardia (VT) or patients who are felt to be at risk for these sometimes fatal rhythms. These devices can also act like a standard pacemaker and pace the heart if it is too slow. When an abnormally fast rate is detected by the ICD, it either electrically paces the heart very fast or delivers a small electrical shock to the heart to convert the heart back to normal rhythm. The device is implanted in an operating room under deep sedation. Patients are discharged the same day. The incision is like the insertion of a regular pacemaker.

Pacemaker Implantation

Your pacemaker is designed to monitor and treat abnormally slow heart rhythms. Your pacemaker device contains a small battery-operated computer, which is typically implanted in your chest, and one or two leads, which are implanted in your heart and connected to the device. The pacemaker continuously monitors your heart rhythm and delivers electrical energy (as programmed by your physician) to pace your heart if it’s beating too slowly. Your pacemaker also stores information about your heart. This allows your doctor to better evaluate the programmed therapy for your heart rhythm and adjust your pacemaker settings if necessary.
