ICDs
Implanted cardiac devices
ICDs is the plural of ICD, which typically stands for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator—a device surgically placed in the chest to monitor heart rhythm and deliver electrical shocks when it detects dangerous arrhythmias: The cardiologist recommended ICDs for patients at high risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
ICD also abbreviates International Classification of Diseases, a diagnostic coding system used in healthcare: The hospital updated its billing software for ICD-10.
