What Is AICD Implantation?
An AICD is a small device implanted under the skin, connected to your heart through thin wires (leads). It works by detecting dangerous arrhythmias and automatically delivering electrical shocks or pacing signals to correct them, protecting you from life-threatening cardiac events.

Is AICD Implantation Right for You?
An AICD may be recommended if you have:
- A history of life-threatening arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation.
- Survived a sudden cardiac arrest.
- A high risk of arrhythmias due to conditions like heart failure, coronary artery disease, or genetic predispositions.
- Evidence of arrhythmic risk on diagnostics, such as abnormal heart rhythm detected on ECG or Holter monitoring, and low ejection fraction on echocardiography.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Preparation: Thorough pre-procedure assessments, including ECG, echocardiography, and other diagnostics, are conducted to tailor the treatment to your condition.
- Procedure: Performed under local anesthesia, the AICD is implanted through a small incision, with leads placed strategically to monitor and regulate your heart.
- Recovery: Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, with noticeable improvement in arrhythmia management and peace of mind.
