ICD Implantation in Bangalore
An
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
is a life-saving device designed to detect and treat
dangerously fast heart rhythms (ventricular tachycardia or
fibrillation) that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. The
device constantly monitors heart rate and delivers an electric
shock if a life-threatening arrhythmia is detected, instantly
restoring normal rhythm.
"ICD implantation is one of the most effective ways to
prevent sudden cardiac death in high-risk patients —
offering peace of mind and a second chance at life."
At our state-of-the-art cardiac care center in Bangalore,
Dr. Basavaraj Utagi specializes in ICD
implantation for patients with heart failure, post-heart
attack complications, inherited rhythm disorders, or previous
episodes of cardiac arrest. Our advanced techniques ensure
safe implantation and long-term monitoring of device function
and battery life.
Who Needs an ICD?
-
Post-Heart Attack Patients: Individuals
with low ejection fraction and high risk of ventricular
arrhythmias.
-
Heart Failure Patients: Especially
those with ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
-
Previous Cardiac Arrest Survivors: For
secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death.
-
Inherited Arrhythmia Syndromes: Such as
Long QT Syndrome, Brugada Syndrome, or Hypertrophic
Cardiomyopathy.
Types of ICD Devices We Offer
-
Single-Chamber ICD: Connected to the
right ventricle to monitor and treat fast rhythms.
-
Dual-Chamber ICD: Connected to both the
right atrium and ventricle for more detailed rhythm
control.
-
CRT-D (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy with
Defibrillator):
Combines pacing therapy for heart failure with
defibrillation to prevent sudden death.
-
Subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD): A newer
device implanted under the skin without leads going into
the heart, ideal for certain patients.
