Abstract Introduction Wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) is utilized in patients with assumed but not yet confirmed risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, the rate of WCD-detected ventricular or atrial arrhythmia events in this specific high-risk cohort is not well understood.

In myocardial pathology, the genesis and sustainability of ventricular arrhythmia are intricately related to the degree of LV dysfunction of any cause. Tackling SCD was in God’s domain, until the brilliance of Dr. Michel Mirowski shrunk the defibrillator and implanted it under the chest in 1980. (Dr. Reference 1. N Engl J Med.

Here is the transcript of the video: Implantable defibrillator is an important life saving device. It can automatically detect life threatening ventricular arrhythmias and treat them, either with a shock or, sometimes by overdrive pacing. These are high voltage, defibrillator shock coils. So, this is how an ICD works.
