Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is an advanced treatment that helps patients with heart failure by improving the heart's rhythm and pumping efficiency. It involves implanting a special pacemaker (biventricular pacemaker) that coordinates the contractions of the left and right ventricles, helping the heart pump blood more effectively.

What is Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Surgery?

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy is used to treat moderate to severe heart failure caused by abnormal electrical signaling. The therapy uses a special device that sends electrical impulses to both ventricles, allowing them to contract in a coordinated manner. There are two main types:

  • CRT-P (Pacemaker): Improves heart rhythm and pumping.
  • CRT-D (Defibrillator): Combines pacing with defibrillation to prevent sudden cardiac arrest.

When is CRT Surgery Recommended?

Doctors recommend CRT for patients with heart failure who have a low ejection fraction (below 35%), symptoms despite medication, or electrical conduction delays such as left bundle branch block. It helps reduce hospitalizations and improves survival rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, many people live 20 years or more after heart surgery, especially with healthy lifestyle habits and regular medical follow-ups. Advances in surgical techniques and postoperative care have greatly improved long-term survival and quality of life.

CRT (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) doesn't completely reverse heart failure but can significantly improve heart function and symptoms. It helps the heart pump more efficiently, reducing fatigue, breathlessness, and hospitalizations.

CRT is typically recommended for people with moderate to severe heart failure, weakened heart muscle (low ejection fraction), and abnormal heart rhythm patterns. A cardiologist determines eligibility through ECG, echocardiogram, and other heart tests.

Patients with symptomatic heart failure despite medication, an ejection fraction of 35% or less, and electrical conduction delays such as left bundle branch block (LBBB) are usually ideal candidates for CRT. The decision is based on individual heart assessments.

Recovery after CRT implantation is generally smooth. Most patients stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days and can return to normal activities within a week. Regular follow-ups are needed to adjust the device and monitor heart performance.
