Hello! I know that implantable cardioverter defibrillator and pacemaker are very similar. But, there is big difference between them. Namely, implantable cardioverter defibrillator is able to provide stronger impulses than pacemaker. Maybe this does not sound to you like big deal, but believe me – it is. I hope this helps you.
