Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

Reviving hearts and restoring rhythm
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is an advanced medical intervention designed to improve the heart’s pumping efficiency in individuals with certain types of heart failure. This innovative treatment involves the implantation of a specialized device, known as a CRT device or biventricular pacemaker, which synchronizes the contractions of the heart’s chambers. In heart failure patients, the heart’s electrical impulses may become disorganized, leading to inefficient pumping and symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath. CRT works by coordinating the timing of the heart’s contractions, optimizing its performance and enhancing blood flow throughout the body. This therapy has proven particularly beneficial for individuals with heart failure and electrical conduction abnormalities, significantly improving their quality of life by alleviating symptoms and reducing hospitalizations. CRT represents a remarkable advancement in cardiac care, offering renewed hope for those with compromised heart function.
Empowering Heart Health through Innovative Solutions
CRT involves the implantation of a special device known as a cardiac resynchronization therapy device or CRT device.
CRT can alleviate symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention in many heart failure patients.
The procedure for implanting a CRT device is relatively safe, with most patients experiencing significant improvements in their quality of life.
CRT is typically recommended for individuals with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction, where the heart's pumping capacity is compromised.
The primary purpose of CRT is to synchronize the contractions of the heart's ventricles, which can become desynchronized in heart failure.
The device works by sending electrical signals to the heart's ventricles, helping them contract together, which improves the heart's overall pumping efficiency.
