What are the main parts of a implantable cardioverter-defibrillator?

See below: Strictly speaking, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator has a generator (box) and a shocking lead (wire that goes through the vein to the right ventricle). The generator holds the circuitry and the battery, the lead delivers the shock to the heart.
