Text in this example:
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) An ICD is surgically implanted under the skin. It continually monitors the heartbeat and delivers a shock to the heart when it detects a dangerous rhythm. The shocks can be painful, like a kick in the chest. Medicines can be given to try to reduce how often the person experiences the irregular heartbeats that trigger the device to deliver a shock.
