Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT), also referred to as biventricular pacing, is often recommended for patients with severe heart dysfunction and congestive heart failure (CHF). Nearly 30% of patients with congestive heart failure have an abnormality that causes the two ventricles (heart chambers) to beat out of synch, one after another, rather than simultaneously. This issue worsens the function of an already damaged heart.

Live Life to the Fullest

Studies show that Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) can diminish symptoms such as shortness of breath, and improve exercise endurance and overall quality of life.
