Abstract
The "Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD) is a device capable of automatically recognising and promptly terminating lethal ventricular tachyarrhyth-mias. It has been shown to result in a dramatic reduction in arrhythmic mortality in a population at high risk from recurrent cardiac arrest. The currently available AICD is a result of an evolutionary development process begun by Mirowski and colleagues over one and a half decades ago.
