Protect your heart with AICD implantation!

Your heart deserves reliable protection!

Arrhythmias and the risk of sudden cardiac death can be frightening, but now you have the opportunity to ensure peace of mind and safety with the implantation of an Automatic Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (AICD). This device continuously monitors your heart rhythm and automatically responds to dangerous arrhythmias, providing you with protection and confidence for the future.

The implantation of an Automatic Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (AICD) is a procedure in which a device is implanted into the patient's body to monitor heart rhythm and prevent dangerous arrhythmias. The AICD can automatically detect dangerous rhythm disturbances and, if necessary, restore normal heart rhythm using electrical impulses.

Key steps of the procedure

The patient usually receives local anesthesia and sedatives. The location for the device implantation is determined, typically under the collarbone. The doctor makes a small incision in the collarbone area. The AICD is inserted under the skin, and electrodes are guided through the veins to the heart. After implantation, the device is tested to ensure it is functioning correctly. The device settings are programmed according to the patient's needs. The incision is sutured and treated to prevent infection. The patient remains under observation for several hours or days to monitor their condition.

Benefits of AICD implantation

• Prevention of sudden cardiac death: The AICD can automatically detect and treat dangerous arrhythmias
• Continuous monitoring: The device continuously monitors heart rhythm and records data for subsequent analysis
• Minimally invasive procedure: AICD implantation is less traumatic compared to open surgical interventions
• Improved quality of life: Patients can feel more confident knowing they have protection against dangerous arrhythmias

AICD implantation is an important method for the prevention and treatment of dangerous arrhythmias, but the decision to perform it should be made by a doctor based on the individual characteristics of the patient.

Indications and contraindications

• Indications: Patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death, including those who have had a myocardial infarction, heart failure, or hereditary heart diseases
• Contraindications: Severe concomitant diseases, allergy to the device materials, inability to access the vein
