This in-person visit checks a defibrillator that has been implanted under the skin, a device that continuously monitors the heart's rhythm and can deliver a shock if it detects a dangerous rhythm. During the visit, a clinician reviews the device's recorded data and settings to make sure it's working correctly and picking up the heart's rhythm as intended.
