Constant protection for your heart’s natural rhythm.
Living with dangerous heart rhythms or a heightened risk of sudden cardiac arrest brings an ongoing sense of vulnerability. Deciding to undergo Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) implantation is a vital, life-saving step toward securing continuous, 24/7 protection for your heart. Shifara Health exists so that this critical decision, and every step of traveling for treatment, is never a journey you have to navigate alone.
An Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) is a small, battery-powered device placed beneath the skin, usually just below the collarbone. It continuously monitors your heart’s electrical activity. If it detects a abnormally fast or life-threatening arrhythmia (such as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation), it instantly delivers precisely calibrated electrical pulses or a shock to restore a normal rhythm.
Depending on individual health profiles, cardiac specialists may recommend a traditional transvenous ICD or a Subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD), which avoids placing leads directly inside the heart’s chambers. India’s top cardiac units feature modern electrophysiology (EP) labs and internationally recognized electrophysiologists who perform ICD placements with high surgical precision and advanced device programming.
India’s top-tier cardiac institutions offer sophisticated electrophysiology labs, access to the latest international-grade ICD technology, and elite cardiac teams without the burden of long waitlists. International patients from the Gulf, Africa, and beyond receive comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, precise device implantation, and thorough post-procedure care at a fraction of Western costs, without any compromise on clinical standards.
We compile your ECGs, Holter monitoring logs, and echocardiograms for thorough evaluation by India’s leading electrophysiologists. We manage your medical visa, travel arrangements, and hospital bookings so your entire trip is organized before you leave home.
A Shifara Health team member greets you upon arrival. Your pre-operative cardiac workup, device consultations, and hospital accommodations are fully organized in advance, ensuring a calm and supported start.
From pre-procedure evaluations through the EP lab and your post-implantation monitoring period, our team stays close. We serve as a constant communication link between your medical team, you, and your family back home.
Recovery from ICD implantation is typically smooth and rapid. We coordinate your post-procedure device testing, wound care guidance, safe return travel, and long-term remote or virtual device checks long after you arrive home.
We believe in transparency before commitment. The figure below is a starting point. Your Shifara Health advisor will share a personalized estimate based on your specific condition, device model (single-chamber, dual-chamber, CRT-D, or S-ICD), chosen hospital, and care plan.
