An AICD continuously senses intracardiac electrical activity to detect malignant ventricular arrhythmias. When ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation is identified, it delivers antitachycardia pacing or a high-energy shock to restore normal rhythm. It does not improve contractility but prevents sudden cardiac death by rapid arrhythmia termination.
AICD is indicated for secondary prevention in survivors of cardiac arrest or sustained VT/VF not due to reversible causes, and for primary prevention in patients with LVEF ≤35% due to ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathy on optimal medical therapy, typically NYHA class II–III. It significantly reduces arrhythmia related mortality.
