An AICD (Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) is a small device implanted under the skin that monitors heart rhythms and delivers a life-saving electric shock if a dangerous arrhythmia (such as ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation) occurs. It is designed to prevent sudden cardiac death in high-risk patients.
Dr. Sanjeev Chaudhary, a senior interventional cardiologist with over 20 years of experience, specializes in AICD implantation and the management of high-risk cardiac arrhythmias. He offers cutting-edge treatment options using the latest technology and provides individualized care to each patient.
The AICD device is implanted under the skin, typically in the upper chest area. Leads are connected to the heart through veins, allowing the device to monitor and correct abnormal rhythms. The procedure takes about 1–2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation.
