Consultant Physician , Diabetologist & Cardiologist in Meerut
An Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD) is a small, battery-powered device implanted in the chest to monitor and regulate heart rhythms. This life-saving device is designed for patients who are at high risk of sudden cardiac arrest due to ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, which are dangerous, fast, or irregular heartbeats.
The AICD continuously monitors the heart's rhythm. If it detects a life-threatening arrhythmia, it delivers a precisely calibrated electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat. This can prevent sudden cardiac death, offering a critical safeguard for patients with severe heart conditions.
AICD implantation is a minimally invasive procedure typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Dr. Sharma makes a small incision near the collarbone to place the device under the skin. Lead wires are guided through blood vessels to the heart, where they are securely attached. The device is programmed to detect and correct abnormal heart rhythms.
The entire procedure usually takes about one to two hours, and most patients can go home the next day. Recovery is relatively quick, with patients resuming normal activities within a week.
