Consulta Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Pacemaker

Overview

Consulta^® CRT-P is an implantable heart failure heart device that provides pacing to help coordinate the heart's pumping action and improve blood flow. Because it is completely automatic, it constantly checks your heart and the device, and adjusts as needed. During your clinic visit, a programmer will provide reports to help your doctor check both your heart and your device.

OptiVol Fluid Status Monitoring Fluid build-up in the lungs is a frequent problem for individuals with heart failure.

It can detect an increase in fluid days ahead of any actual symptoms.

This allows your doctor to see how well your device and medications are working together, and how your heart function may change over time.
