    An Implantable Cardioverter-Cefibrillator (ICD) is a small device placed within the chest during surgery to keep track of and manage abnormal heart rhythms. It is powered by a battery and helps regulate the heart’s beating pattern.
    There are two main types of ICDs: a traditional version that is implanted in the chest, with wires called leads connecting to the heart; and a subcutaneous version (S-ICD) that is placed under the skin below the armpit and attached to an electrode. Unlike the traditional ICD, the S-ICD does not come into contact with the heart and is larger.
    The medical professionals at Epic International surgically implant a compact, battery-powered device called an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) into the chest cavity. Its primary function is to detect and counteract irregular heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias. The ICD continuously monitors the heart’s rhythm and administers electric shocks when needed to restore a normal heartbeat.
