At Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, our specialists possess extensive training and experience in performing this procedure. With skilled doctors, excellent success rates, and enhanced patient outcomes, we stand as the best hospital for Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy in Hyderabad.

    At Apollo, we offer a cutting-edge type of Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D) for patients at high risk for sudden cardiac death.

    What is Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy?

    Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy or CRT, involves implanting a specialised device known as a biventricular pacemaker into the heart. This device sends tiny electrical impulses to both lower chambers of the heart, encouraging them to beat in a more synchronised manner. By doing so, CRT can enhance the heart’s ability to pump blood and oxygen throughout the body. The goal of the procedure is to improve the heart’s coordination and overall pumping efficiency.

    Working of CRT Device

    A Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D) is a specialised device designed for heart failure patients who are at high risk of sudden cardiac death. It operates like a regular pacemaker by addressing slow heart rhythms and sending small electrical impulses to the left and right ventricles, helping them contract simultaneously. This improves the heart’s pumping efficiency.

    Additionally, a CRT-D can treat dangerously fast heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that may result in sudden cardiac arrest. If the device detects an excessively fast heartbeat, it delivers a shock to the heart, a process known as defibrillation, to stop the abnormal rhythm. Without this crucial therapy, these rapid heart rhythms could be fatal within minutes.

    What Happens During a CRT Procedure?

    Before the CRT, you will be given anaesthesia. During the procedure, your doctor will:

    • Insert three wires through the veins in your upper body or thigh and thread them to your heart.
    • Make an incision below your collarbone or in your abdomen for the CRT device.
    • Connect the wires to the CRT device and confirm its proper function.
    • Implant the CRT device under your skin.
    • Close the incision with stitches.

    FAQ's

    Some benefits of CRT include enhanced heart function, reduced symptoms, increased exercise tolerance, decreased risk of hospitalisations, and extended survival.

    CRT is generally regarded as a safe procedure, but there are potential complications. These may include wires breaking or shifting out of place, which could cause damage, infections, blood clots, allergic reactions to materials used during the procedure, and, in rare cases, a heart attack or other heart-related issues.

    After CRT, you may need to stay in the hospital for several hours or overnight. Most people can return to their regular activities within a few days, but it is advised not to drive or lift heavy objects for about a week.
