What is an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)?
An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) is a medical device designed to continuously monitor and regulate the heart's rhythm. It is implanted under the skin, typically below the collarbone, and connected to the heart via leads. The ICD can detect life-threatening arrhythmias and deliver electrical shocks to restore normal heart rhythm.
