Cardiac Resynchronization

What is Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy?

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is treatment to help your heart beat with the right rhythm. It uses a pacemaker to restore the normal timing pattern of the heartbeat.

  • Reaction to the anesthesia.
  • Bleeding.
  • Infection.
  • Heart rhythm problems.
  • Mechanical problems with the CRT device.
  • Movement of the device or the device wires. This may require a second surgery.
  • Swelling or bruising in your upper chest area where the CRT device is placed.
  • Infection.
  • Bleeding.
  • Collapsed lung (pneumothorax)
  • Failure of the device.
  • Compression of the heart due to fluid buildup in the sac surrounding the heart (cardiac tamponade)
  • You have moderate to severe heart failure symptoms.
  • Tests show that your heart is weak and enlarged.
  • The pumping chambers (ventricles) of your heart are not working together.
  • Medicines and lifestyle changes are not working well enough to control your heart failure.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is treatment to help your heart beat with the right rhythm. It uses a pacemaker to restore the normal timing pattern of the heartbeat. The CRT pacemaker coordinates how timing of the upper heart chambers (atria) and the lower heart chambers (ventricles).
