Heart Failure
A cardiac resynchronization heart device sends tiny electrical pulses to the lower chambers of your heart so it can pump blood more efficiently.
CRT is a heart failure treatment option in which an implantable heart failure device helps the lower chambers of the heart to beat in rhythm.
The heart device is surgically placed under the skin, typically just below the collarbone.
As with any medical procedure, there are benefits and risks with cardiac resynchronization therapy. Talk to your doctor to determine if CRT is right for you.
We've provided answers to some commonly asked questions about CRT devices.
