Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)

CRT is a specialized pacemaker therapy used in patients with heart failure and delayed electrical activation (often seen as a widened QRS on ECG). The device stimulates both the right and left sides of the heart to improve coordination and pumping efficiency.

Benefits include:

• Improved heart function
• Reduced hospitalizations
• Better quality of life

CRT may be combined with a defibrillator (CRT-D) in high-risk patients.
