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.
There is a small risk that the site of the pacemaker, implantable caridoverter defibrillator (ICD) or their leads can become infected. If an infection is not treated, it could spread into your lungs (pneumonia), the lining of your heart (endocarditis) or your blood (sepsis).n implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a device similar to a pacemaker. This sends a larger electrical shock to the heart that essentially reboots the heart to get it pumping again. Some modern devices contain both a pacemaker and an ICD.
