What is an implantable cardiac defibrillator? An implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD, or implantable cardioverter defibrillator) is an internal shocking device that provides immediate therapy to a life-threatening arrhythmia (heart beating too quickly) via a jolt of electricity. It can also act as a pacemaker if the heart is beating too slow.
A defibrillator can be implanted within the body by far less invasive techniques than in the past because the devices, aside from being more technologically advanced, are smaller. (An implantable defibrillator is about the size of a pager).
