Advanced minimally invasive procedure to implant an Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD), protecting you from life-threatening heart rhythms and sudden cardiac arrest.
Understanding this life-saving cardiac device procedure
AICD implantation is a minimally invasive procedure to place a small electronic device under the skin of your chest. The AICD monitors your heart rhythm and delivers a life-saving shock if a dangerous arrhythmia is detected. This procedure helps:
Detects and treats life-threatening arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation) instantly
Constantly monitors your heart rhythm and responds automatically to dangerous changes
Provides reassurance for patients and families at high risk of sudden cardiac arrest
