Implantable Defibrillators (Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator) Summary

Description: Implantable devices which continuously monitor the electrical activity of the heart and automatically detect and terminate ventricular tachycardia (TACHYCARDIA, VENTRICULAR) and VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION. They consist of an impulse generator, batteries, and electrodes.

Also Known As: Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator; Defibrillators, Implantable; Cardioverter Defibrillators, Implantable; Cardioverter-Defibrillator, Implantable; Defibrillator, Implantable Show All >>
