An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a small device implanted under the collarbone to monitor and treat life-threatening arrhythmias, helping prevent sudden cardiac death. It detects abnormal heart rhythms and can restore a normal rhythm by sending an electric shock. ICDs vary by type (single-chamber, dual-chamber, and biventricular) and may include features like data storage and remote treatment options. They are used for arrhythmias like ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation, cardiac arrest history, or when medications are ineffective. Certain patients may qualify for a subcutaneous ICD (SICD), which is placed beneath the skin in the chest, just below the armpit.

Depending on various factors, such as the type of ICD, duration of the hospital stay, expertise of the cardiologist, etc., the cost of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator ranges from Rs. 1,80,000 to Rs. 3,40,000. It costs approximately Rs. 2,80,000.
There are various types of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), each designed to meet the unique requirements of a patient depending on their cardiac condition. ICD types differ primarily in the number of heart chambers they monitor, the additional therapies they provide (such as pacing), and implantation methods.
Single Chamber ICD: It consists of only one lead wire that connects the pulse generator to one chamber of the heart. It is mostly used for patients who require pacing support to their right ventricle only.
Dual Chamber ICD: It consists of two lead wires that are used to connect the pulse generator to two heart chambers. It is mostly used for patients who require both artial & ventricular pacing.
cardiac resynchronization therapy (ICD): This device combines an ICD with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), which uses three leads: one in the left ventricle through the coronary sinus, one in the right atrium, and one in the right ventricle. It is mostly preferred in individuals with heart failure.
Subcutaneous ICD: An external version of the device, the subcutaneous ICD does not involve the implantation of leads in the heart or blood vessels. A pulse generator and an electrode are positioned beneath the skin along the sternum and close to the armpit, respectively.
A tiny device is inserted beneath the skin close to the collarbone during a minor surgical procedure to implant an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Furthermore, a vein is used to insert one or more leads into the heart to track its rhythm and administer therapy, such as shocks or pacing, if necessary. Before the incision is closed, the device is tested to make sure it is operating properly. The procedure is usually performed under sedation and local anesthesia.
The cost of open heart surgery can vary based on several factors, including the type of ICD device, the length of the hospital stay, and the surgeon’s expertise. However, selecting the right hospital that offers quality care at an affordable price is crucial to your healing process.
