An ICD is the most effective prevention against sudden cardiac death. Due to the prohibitive cost of ICDs, they are not routinely placed in all individuals with ACM. Indications for ICD placement in the setting of ACM include: Cardiac arrest due to VT or VF; Symptomatic VT that is not inducible during programmed stimulation
Illustration of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a battery-powered device that monitors electrical activity in the heart, and when an arrhythmia is detected, can deliver an electrical shock to terminate the abnormal rhythm. ICDs are used to prevent sudden cardiac death (SCD) in ...
