Therapy

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy, or CRT, is a clinically proven heart failure treatment option for some heart failure patients that is designed to help the heart beat in rhythm. An implantable heart device sends tiny electrical pulses to the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart to make them beat together again in a more synchronized pattern. This improves the heart’s ability to pump blood and oxygen to the body.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy, in combination with a complete program of therapy, has proven to improve the quality of life for many patients by reducing symptoms of heart failure, increasing exercise capacity and allowing them to resume many daily activities. It is not a replacement for drug therapy, and it is recommended that Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy patients also continue taking medications as determined by a physician.
