How long does a implantable cardiac diffibulator last?

An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) typically lasts between 5 to 7 years, depending on the model and the patient's specific condition. The longevity can be influenced by factors such as the patient's heart rate and how often the device is activated. Regular follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor the battery life and overall function of the device. Eventually, the ICD will need to be replaced when the battery runs low.
