An ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) is a small device which is implanted in patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation. The difference between an ICD and a pacemaker is that pacemakers are more often temporary and generally designed to consistently correct bradycardia, while ICDs are often permanent safeguards against sudden abnormalities.
