ICD ( Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator)& CRT( Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy)

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device, has three leads connected to the right atrium and both ventricles. We use the biventricular pacemaker to treat people with arrhythmias caused by advanced heart failure.

For many people with heart failure, the left and right ventricles do not pump at the same time. Our doctors program the biventricular pacemaker to coordinate the contractions of the ventricles, so that they both pump together.

Coordinating the ventricles’ contractions helps your heart pump blood more efficiently and can relieve your heart failure symptoms. The treatment is known as cardiac resynchronization therapy because it resynchronizes the ventricles’ pumping action.

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a device that can monitor your heart rhythm and act as a pacemaker if needed. An ICD can:

  • Detect and correct dangerous heart rhythms. An ICD can sense a rapid, abnormal heartbeat, called an arrhythmia, and send an electrical shock to correct it. This is called defibrillation. Act as a pacemaker, An ICD can send regular electrical impulses to help a slow heart beat faster.

There are different types of ICDs, including:

  • Transvenous ICD: A conventional ICD with a pacing lead that's implanted in a vein.
  • Subcutaneous ICD: A newer type of ICD where the pacing lead is implanted under the skin. This type of ICD can't function as a long-term pacemaker.
  • CRT-D: A type of ICD with CRT that can help synchronize the heart in patients with heart failure.
