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 is a device that introduces electrical current or shock to the heart to correct cases of ventricular fibrillation (a quivering of the heart which limits the heart muscle from pumping blood to the body), cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal electrical activity), and ventricular tachycardia (fast heart rhythm).
