The TriHealth Heart & Vascular Institute helps patients monitor their heart issues through the use of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), a device that detects any life-threatening, rapid heartbeat. An ICD is used in cases where there is concern over a patient’s risk for severe arrhythmia, specifically, ventricular tachycardia.
ICD therapy involves the insertion of an ICD unit to help monitor, document, and regulate your heart rhythm so you can lead a normal, worry-free life.
