PALO ALTO, Calif. - Dec. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- As part of its ongoing program to highlight excellence in healthcare, Expertscape.com is very pleased to recognize the top institutions and individual specialists working with and studying implantable cardiac defibrillators. These revolutionary, life-saving, battery-powered devices continuously monitor a patient's heart beat, looking for dangerous cardiac rhythms.  If one is detected, the device can correct it within seconds, sometimes by acting like a pacemaker, and sometimes by delivering an electric shock directly to the heart.
