After being diagnosed with increased risk for Sudden Cardiac Arrest you will need to move onto choosing a treatment option. During your visits with your doctor, you may have talked about the benefits of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator or ICD device.
An S-ICD (Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) is an evolution in ICD therapy. It’s implanted just under the skin with no wires touching the heart. Thus, it eliminates potentially serious short- and long-term risks associated with placing electrical wires inside the heart or blood vessels.
