Michel Mirowski conceived of and developed the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). After building a prototype device, Mirowski tested and refined it in animals. Despite considerable skepticism and criticism from many of his colleagues, Mirowski implanted the first device in a human in 1980.1 In 1985, the FDA initially approved theICD, specifying that patients had to have survived 2 cardiac arrests to qualify for ICD implantation.

Implantable cardiac defibrillator?

If such a heartbeat, called an arrhythmia, occurs, the ICD quickly sends an electrical shock to the heart to change the rhythm back to normal.Reviewed ByReview Date: 02/27/2009James Lee, M.D., Department of Surgery, Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, New York, NY.
