Specialists at the Top Ihilov Cardiac Center perform the implantation of ICD cardioverter-defibrillators for heart rhythm disorders, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation.
An ICD cardioverter-defibrillator is a heart pacemaker that automatically detects pathological heart rhythm disturbances and delivers energy to the heart during rhythm failure, allowing the restoration of a normal heartbeat rhythm.
The ICD pacemaker is effective in preventing sudden cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death in patients with sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation.
The cardiologists at Top Ihilov Clinic have such extensive experience in implanting cardioverter-defibrillators that the ICD implantation surgeries last about an hour. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with visual control by a cardiac surgeon and using special equipment.
The cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is implanted under the skin in the area of the collarbone. Electrodes are passed through blood vessels to the heart, which deliver an electric shock to stimulate heart function during rhythm disturbances.

- sinus tachycardia
- bradycardia
- paroxysmal tachycardia
- extrasystole
- atrial fibrillation - in atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease
- Arrhythmia
- Right Ventricular Dysplasia
