MODEL RELEASED. Implantable defibrillator surgery. Surgeons performing surgery to fit a biventricular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). The screen in the foreground shows the patient's heart rate and the performance of the ICD. An ICD is used to treat serious ventricular arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythm). It delivers an electrical shock that resets the heart rate to a normal rhythm. The main body of the ICD sits just under the skin and is attached to wires implanted into the heart muscle | |
