Cardioverter Defibrillator Implantation

The Forsyth Cardiovascular Institute offers Cardioverter Debfribrillator Implantation for patients who suffer from irregular heart rhythms.

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators are small monitors placed under the skin to continuously monitor the heart's rhythm. When the device detects ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, it shocks the heart to restore the normal rhythm.
