An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (or ICD, sounds like ‘eye-see-dee’) is a small electronic device that constantly checks your heart rate and rhythm. It looks for any sudden changes that can cause sudden death. When needed, it can either send an electrical impulse to your heart to trigger a heartbeat or send an electrical shock to trigger the heart rhythm back to normal. (Chinese - Traditional)

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) [Chinese - Traditional] Permalink Public

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a small electronic device used to treat heart failure. It delivers tiny amounts of electrical impulses to the heart causing both ventricles to pump together in a coordinated way. There are 2 types of these devices: a CRT pacemaker (CRT-P) and a CRT defibrillator (CRT-D). Both can send an electrical impulse to your heart, triggering a heartbeat when needed. A CRT-D can also deliver a life-saving shock to return the heart rhythm back to normal. (Chinese - Traditional)
