Live Confidently with S-ICD Heart Protection

     On a seemingly peaceful night, one of the most fearsome silent threats is “Sudden Cardiac Arrest,” such as those found in patients with “Brugada Syndrome” (Sudden Unexpected Death Syndrome), which often occurs without any warning signs. This phenomenon is caused by abnormalities in the heart's electrical system, leading to severe arrhythmias that prevent the heart from pumping blood to the body in time.

Ramkhamhaeng Hospital understands your concerns and the importance of a long, healthy life. We are ready to offer a way to protect you and your loved ones with the innovative S-ICD.

What is S-ICD?

     S-ICD (Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) is an implantable cardioverter defibrillator placed under the skin. It is the latest innovation used to monitor and immediately correct abnormal heart rhythms 24 hours a day. It features key advantages that distinguish it from traditional transvenous ICDs.

Advantages of S-ICD

• Reduced Side Effects: The electrodes are placed “subcutaneously” (under the skin) around the chest area without inserting leads into the blood vessels or touching the heart directly. This significantly reduces the risk of bloodstream infections or heart trauma.
• Small Incision, Fast Recovery: Minimizes blood loss, reduces recovery time, and allows for a quicker return to normal life.
• Smart Technology: Highly accurate detection of dangerous heart rhythms, enabling you to live your life as smoothly as possible.
