An ICD can provide appropriate therapy to a varying type of "Event" without disturbing the patient and will only be picked up at regular checks. They have several monitoring modes which can activate ventricular pacing as opposed to a shock. Most times the patient won't notice at all. A doctor would rarely check except in cases when the ICD delivers a shock.
