Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD)
Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator AICD implantation is a life saving procedure that prevents sudden cardiac death in patients with dangerous heart rhythm disorders. The device is placed under the skin and continuously monitors heart activity, delivering electrical therapy whenever a life threatening arrhythmia occurs.
About Procedure
AICD implantation is an advanced cardiac procedure designed for patients at high risk of sudden cardiac arrest. The device constantly tracks heart rhythm and responds instantly by delivering electrical pulses or shocks to restore a stable heartbeat. It acts as an internal safeguard and significantly improves survival in patients with severe rhythm disorders.
When to Consider
AICD implantation is advised for patients who have experienced cardiac arrest, severe ventricular arrhythmias, weakened heart muscle, or inherited rhythm disorders. It is also recommended when medications alone are not sufficient to control abnormal heart rhythms and there is a high risk of sudden cardiac death.
