Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs)

Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) are small medical devices implanted in the body to help manage heart rhythm disorders. They include pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices. These devices monitor the heart's electrical activity and deliver electrical signals when needed to restore normal heartbeat, prevent irregularities, and improve heart function. CIEDs are vital for patients with certain arrhythmias or heart failure, helping them lead healthier, more active lives while reducing the risk of serious complications like fainting or sudden cardiac arrest.
