Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is a specialized treatment designed for patients with heart failure and rhythm disturbances, particularly those with conduction delays that cause the heart’s ventricles to beat out of sync. When the lower chambers do not contract simultaneously, the heart’s pumping efficiency drops, leading to chronic fatigue and shortness of breath. CRT uses a sophisticated “biventricular” pacemaker to send synchronized electrical impulses to both ventricles, restoring a coordinated heartbeat.
At ILS Hospitals, our cardiac team develops personalized CRT strategies for patients who continue to experience symptoms despite medical therapy. By surgically placing a small device beneath the skin and precisely positioning its leads, we help the heart pump more effectively, significantly relieving symptoms and improving the patient’s overall quality of life.
Our Comprehensive CRT & Heart Failure Program
We combine advanced implantation techniques with long-term management to ensure your heart reaches its peak performance.
- Advanced Diagnostic Evaluation: Before implantation, we utilize high-definition echocardiography and Cardiac MRI to map heart function. This detailed assessment ensures that CRT is the most effective solution for the patient’s specific conduction pattern.
- Precision CRT Implantation: Our specialists perform the procedure using minimally invasive techniques. We focus on the high-precision placement of the third lead (the left ventricular lead), which is critical for successful resynchronization.
- Smart Device Selection: Based on the patient’s clinical profile, we select the most appropriate technology, whether a standard CRT-P (Pacemaker) or a CRT-D (Defibrillator) for those at a higher risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
- Real-Time Device Optimization: Post-implantation, we use real-time monitoring to fine-tune the device’s timing. These customized adjustments ensure the ventricles are synchronized perfectly to maximize blood flow.
- Integrated Heart Failure Management: At ILS Hospitals, CRT is part of a holistic care plan. Patients receive comprehensive support, including optimized medication regimens, lifestyle counseling, and cardiac rehabilitation to strengthen the heart muscle.
- Continuous Remote Monitoring: We offer scheduled follow-up visits and remote monitoring capabilities to track the device’s performance and battery life, ensuring immediate intervention if adjustments are needed.
