Advanced Titanium Pulse Generators & Quadripolar Defibrillation Leads
Unlike standard pacemakers that only stimulate a slow pulse (bradycardia), AICDs and CRT-Ds contain powerful micro-capacitors capable of sensing lethal ventricular tachycardias and delivering a 35 to 40 Joule internal defibrillation shock within seconds.

Factors That Can Influence the Final Cost
Every heart is anatomically unique. Here are the three primary clinical variables that may alter the final billing:
Single vs. Dual Chamber vs. CRT-D
₹2,50,000 – ₹4,00,000 variancePatients with pure sudden arrest risk receive an AICD; heart failure patients with low EF (<35%) and wide QRS require CRT-D for chamber resynchronization.
Quadripolar Left Ventricular Lead Technology
₹40,000 – ₹65,000 varianceQuadripolar leads allow 14+ electronic pacing vectors, overcoming phrenic nerve stimulation and ensuring optimal heart resynchronization.
Wireless Home Monitoring Transmitter
Included in premium tiersTransmits daily electrical reports directly from the patient's bedside to Dr. Manish Aggarwal's clinical dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions on Pricing
Why does an AICD cost significantly more than a standard pacemaker?
A standard pacemaker only delivers tiny low-voltage micro-pulses to gently nudge a slow heart. An AICD contains a complex miniature computer and high-voltage capacitor capable of generating a life-saving 35 to 40 Joule electrical shock to restart a dying heart in sudden cardiac arrest. The intricate circuitry, shocking coils, and titanium encapsulation account for the cost difference.
What is the difference between a standard pacemaker, an AICD, and a CRT-D?
A standard pacemaker treats slow heart rates (bradycardia). An AICD monitors for dangerously fast rhythms (VT/VF) and delivers a shock to prevent sudden death. A CRT-D combines both: it places three pacing leads to coordinate the weak left and right ventricles (reversing heart failure) while also having the built-in defibrillator shock backup.
Can an AICD patient undergo an MRI scan in the future?
Yes. All modern AICD and CRT-D devices implanted by Dr. Manish Aggarwal at Yashoda Medicity are Full-Body MRI Conditional (1.5T and 3.0T certified), allowing safe scans whenever clinically required.
