What are the alternatives to an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator?
Patients are treated with medical therapy to reduce the chance of arrhythmia. This alternative has been shown to have a higher rate of sudden death when compared to ICD over the initial three years of treatment, but has not been compared at five years.
Does implantable defibrillator use ac or dc current?
DC, unless you run an extension cord.
What are the main components of a implantable cardioverter-defibrillator?
Similar in structure to a pacemaker, an ICD has three main components: a generator, leads, and an electrode
