CRT-D Implant (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) in India

Overview

The CRT-D procedure involves implanting a device in your chest that helps to normalize your heartbeats, monitors the health of your heart, and enables your doctor to prescribe the best course of action for you. A CRT-D procedure is often referred to as a defibrillator for cardiac resynchronization therapy. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is used to maintain consistent heartbeat and rhythm. It uses a pacemaker to restore the regular pattern of the heartbeat and is also referred to as biventricular pacing. Patients with severe symptoms that are resistant to medical treatment have seen improvements in their overall quality of life and heart failure symptoms

Procedure Details

These wires deliver small electrical currents to the heart, helping both ventricles pump more effectively. CRT-D is used for heart failure or patients at risk of sudden cardiac death. It functions like a pacemaker by transmitting electrical currents to both ventricles to aid synchronized contraction. If it detects dangerously fast heart rhythms, it delivers a shock (defibrillation) to correct the rhythm. Q: Can a patient get an MRI with the implantable device? A: Yes, MRI is possible after device implantation
