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.

Background Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) frequently occur in the acute phase of myocarditis. Possible arrhythmic recurrences and the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in this setting are reasons for concern, and limited data have been published to guide clinical management of these patients.

For the past four decades, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy has become the standard of care for preventing sudden cardiac death in high-risk individuals. The rate of ICD implantation has risen due to the increasing population age and the growing prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias.
