Advanced ICD Implantation At Kauvery: Keep Up Your Heart Beat

Accurate Monitoring

ICDs continuously monitor heart rhythms and provide immediate intervention for life-threatening arrhythmias.

Life-Saving Intervention

By delivering timely shocks, ICDs prevent sudden cardiac arrest, significantly improving survival rates.

Minimally Invasive Procedure

The ICD implantation procedure is straightforward, with a quick recovery time, allowing you to resume daily activities swiftly.

Long-Term Management

ICDs offer long-term protection, providing peace of mind for patients with a high risk of arrhythmias.

Tailored Therapy

ICDs can be programmed to match individual heart conditions, ensuring personalised and effective treatment.

Activity Tracking

ICDs often include features that monitor physical activity, helping doctors make informed decisions about overall health.

What is an ICD Implantation Procedure?

An ICD implantation, or implantable cardioverter defibrillator procedure, involves placing a small device under the skin, typically near the collarbone. This device continuously monitors the heart's rhythm and is designed to deliver electric shocks when it detects life-threatening arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. These timely interventions help prevent sudden cardiac arrest and significantly improve survival rates.

Who Needs ICD Implantation?

You will need cardiac defibrillator insertion if you have:

  • Experienced a previous cardiac arrest and are at high risk for future episodes
  • Severe arrhythmias or irregular heart beats, such as ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation
  • Heart failure especially with reduced amount of blood pumped out of the ventricles
  • Inherited heart conditions, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
  • Cardiomyopathy, whether dilated, hypertrophic, or restrictive, are at an increased risk of arrhythmias
  • Long QT Syndrome increasing the risk of developing dangerous arrhythmias leading to sudden cardiac arrest
  • Brugada Syndrome, a genetic disorder causing severe arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
  • Congenital Heart Disease often face a lifetime risk of arrhythmias due to structural abnormalities.
  • Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia are at high risk for sudden cardiac arrest
  • Electrolyte Imbalances, such as those involving potassium or magnesium.

What Conditions are Managed with ICD Implantation?

ICD implantation is instrumental in managing various cardiac conditions, such as:

Ventricular Tachycardia

Ventricular Tachycardia

A fast, abnormal heart rate originating from the heart's ventricles.

Ventricular Fibration

Ventricular Fibrillation

A life-threatening heart rhythm causing rapid, erratic electrical impulses in the ventricles.

Bradycardia-Tachycardia Syndrome

Bradycardia-Tachycardia Syndrome

condition involving alternating slow (bradycardia) and fast (tachycardia) heart rhythms.

Heart failure

Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

A type of heart failure where the heart's left ventricle cannot pump blood effectively.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

A condition where the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick, increasing the risk of dangerous arrhythmias.

Congenital Long QT Syndrome

Congenital Long QT Syndrome

An inherited disorder that prolongs the QT interval causing fatal arrhythmias.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (ARVD)

A genetic condition where the right ventricle muscle is replaced by fatty/fibrous tissue.

ICD Implantation at Kauvery Hospital: An Overview

At Kauvery Hospital, we make use of cutting-edge technology to provide the safest and most effective ICD implantations. Our commitment to innovation and patient care is evident in our three advanced approaches:

We offer the latest subcutaneous ICDs, which are implanted under the skin without the need for leads in the heart.

Subcutaneous ICDs (S-ICDs) represent a significant advancement in ICD technology. Unlike traditional ICDs that require leads to be placed inside the heart via veins, S-ICDs are positioned just under the skin.

This method significantly reduces the risk of infections and complications associated with transvenous leads.

At Kauvery Hospital, our specialists are adept at performing this minimally invasive procedure, which not only ensures patient safety but also reduces recovery time.

The S-ICD continuously monitors the heart rhythm and delivers life-saving shocks when necessary, providing reliable protection against sudden cardiac arrest without the complexity of traditional lead-based systems.

Our facility also specialises in leadless ICDs, eliminating the need for transvenous leads and thus minimising procedural risks.

By putting an end to the need for leads that run from the ICD to the heart, these devices reduce the risk of lead-related complications such as infections, fractures, and dislodgement.

At Kauvery Hospital, the implantation of leadless ICDs is performed with precision and care, ensuring a high success rate and patient satisfaction.

These devices are implanted directly into the heart via a minimally invasive procedure, offering patients a safer and less invasive option.

The leadless ICD continuously monitors and responds to arrhythmias, providing effective management of life-threatening conditions while enhancing patient comfort and mobility.

We utilise advanced remote monitoring technology to keep track of the ICD's performance and the patient's heart health from afar.

This approach allows our medical team to track the performance of the ICD and the patient’s heart health in real-time, without the need for frequent hospital visits.

Using sophisticated telemetry systems, the ICD transmits data to our secure monitoring center, where it is analysed by our cardiology experts.

This efficient method enables early detection of potential issues, timely medical interventions, and personalised adjustments to treatment plans.

Patients benefit from increased peace of mind, knowing their heart health is under constant professional supervision, leading to improved outcomes and quality of life.

Intravascular ultrasound imaging provides real-time, high-resolution images of the blood vessel's internal structure, allowing for better assessment of the severity and characteristics of the stenosis.

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) systems with advanced imaging capabilities enable interventional radiologists to visualise blood flow dynamics and accurately assess the results of fistuloplasty in real-time.

Pre-procedural 3D printing and modelling techniques allow for the creation of patient-specific vascular anatomical models, that helps optimise procedural efficiency and outcomes.

What is the difference between an ICD and a pacemaker?

An ICD treats life-threatening arrhythmias by delivering shocks, while a pacemaker regulates slow heart rhythms with electrical pulses.

How does an ICD work?

An ICD monitors heart rhythms and delivers electric shocks to correct dangerous arrhythmias, preventing sudden cardiac arrest.

Is the ICD implantation procedure painful?

The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during implantation. Mild discomfort may occur during recovery.

How long does the ICD implantation procedure take?

The procedure typically takes about 1 to 2 hours.

What is the recovery time after ICD implantation?

Recovery usually takes a few days to a week, with most patients resuming normal activities within a month.

Can I travel with an ICD?

Yes, you can travel with an ICD. Inform airport security about your device and carry your ICD identification card.

How much does it cost to implant an ICD in Bangalore?

The cost of ICD (Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator) implantation in Bangalore typically ranges from INR 3,00,000 to INR 7,00,000.The exact cost can vary based on the type of ICD, the hospital, and any additional medical services required.

Are there any risks associated with ICD implantation?

Yes, there are risks associated with ICD implantation, including infection at the implant site, bleeding, damage to the blood vessels or heart, and potential complications from anesthesia.
