Advanced minimally invasive procedure to implant a Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D), improving heart function and protecting against sudden cardiac arrest in heart failure patients.
Understanding this advanced cardiac device therapy
CRT-D implantation is a minimally invasive procedure to place a device that combines cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and a defibrillator (ICD). It helps coordinate the heart's pumping action and protects against life-threatening arrhythmias. This procedure helps:
Coordinates the contractions of the heart's chambers to improve efficiency and reduce heart failure symptoms
Delivers a life-saving shock if a dangerous arrhythmia is detected
Reduces symptoms, hospitalizations, and improves exercise capacity in heart failure patients
