Implantable defibrillator surgery. Close-up of a surgeon connecting leads to an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) while performing surgery to fit the device. 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. | |
