AICD Implantation

An Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD) is a life-saving electronic device designed to monitor and correct dangerously abnormal heart rhythms. Dr. Hariom Tyagi, a highly experienced cardiologist, offers expert AICD implantation services to patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest due to ventricular arrhythmias or other serious heart rhythm disorders.

What is an AICD?

An AICD is a small, battery-powered device implanted under the skin, usually near the chest or shoulder area. It continuously monitors your heart’s rhythm and, when it detects a dangerously fast or irregular heartbeat, delivers an electric shock to restore normal rhythm. This device works automatically and acts as a guardian for your heart, especially if you are at risk of life-threatening arrhythmias.

Who Needs an AICD?

Dr. Hariom Tyagi may recommend AICD implantation for patients who:

• Have survived a cardiac arrest or serious ventricular arrhythmia
• Have a weakened heart muscle (heart failure or cardiomyopathy)
• Are at high risk of sudden cardiac death
• Have certain inherited heart rhythm conditions

Procedure Overview

AICD implantation is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia and light sedation. Dr. Tyagi makes a small incision in the chest area to place the device beneath the skin. The leads (thin wires) are guided through veins into the heart, where they monitor heart rhythms and deliver therapy when necessary. The procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours, and patients may return home the next day.
