Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

A healthy heart beats in perfect coordination, ensuring that blood is efficiently pumped to the body. However, for some individuals with heart failure and electrical conduction problems, the heart’s chambers do not beat in sync, reducing its pumping efficiency. Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is a specialized treatment that helps restore proper coordination between the heart’s chambers, improving heart function and overall quality of life.

At Piyu’s Hriday Sanjeevani Rhythm Clinic, we specialize in CRT implantation in Nashik, offering advanced and patient-focused cardiac care for individuals with heart failure and arrhythmias. Our goal is to help you live better, breathe easier, and regain strength through cutting-edge treatments tailored to your needs.

What is Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)?

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is a procedure in which a special pacemaker (CRT device) is implanted to help the heart’s both lower chambers (ventricles) which beats together in a synchronized manner. This improves the heart’s ability to pump  blood effectively, reducing heart failure symptoms and improving overall heart function.

CRT devices come in two types 

  • CRT-P (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy – Pacemaker): This device helps to synchronize the heart’s rhythm by pacing both ventricles at specified duration but does not provide defibrillator/ shock.
  • CRT-D (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy – Defibrillator): In addition to pacing the heart, this device can deliver a life-saving shock if a dangerous arrhythmia occurs.

CRT reduces heart failure symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling, helping patients regain their daily activities and independence.

Who Needs CRT?

Your doctor may recommend Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) if you have

  • Moderate to severe heart failure (NYHA Class II, III, or IV)
  • A weakened heart (low ejection fraction), typically ≤ 35%
  • A history of recurrent hospitalization due to heart failure symptoms
  • A wide QRS complex on an ECG, indicating abnormal electrical conduction
  • Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB) or other electrical delays in heart contraction

CRT is not suitable for all heart failure patients, and a thorough electrophysiological evaluation will determine if you are the right candidate.

Step-by-Step Procedure

  • Getting Ready – You will change into a hospital gown, and the area near your collarbone will be cleaned and numbed with local anesthesia.
  • Small Incision – The doctor makes a small cut near your collarbone to insert the device below the skin.
  • Placing the Wires – Thin wires (leads) are guided through a vein into your heart to help it beat in sync.
  • Inserting the Device – The doctor connects the wires to a small device (CRT pacemaker) and places it under the skin near your collarbone.
  • Testing the Device – The doctor ensures the device is working properly to regulate your heartbeat.
  • Closing the Incision – The cut is closed with stitches or special glue and covered with a bandage.

Recovery & Aftercare

Following CRT implantation, you can expect

  • Mild soreness or swelling at the incision site, which subsides within a few days.
  • Limited arm movement – Avoid lifting your arm above your shoulder on the implant side for a few weeks.
  • Avoiding strenuous activities for about 4-6 weeks to allow proper healing.
  • Regular follow-ups to monitor the device’s performance and battery life.
  • Medications & lifestyle modifications to manage heart failure symptoms effectively.

Our team at Piyu’s Hriday Sanjeevani Rhythm Clinic provides continuous support and monitoring to ensure your heart remains healthy after CRT implantation.

Benefits of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)

  • Improves Heart Function – Enhances the heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently.
