Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Banashankari 2nd Stage

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is a proven treatment for certain patients with heart failure, especially when the heart’s lower chambers beat out of sync. CRT uses a specialized pacemaker to coordinate the heart’s contractions, improving efficiency, reducing symptoms, and enhancing quality of life.

As a highly skilled interventional cardiologist with advanced training in heart failure management, Dr. PavanKumar P Rasalkar specializes in CRT implantation, delivering safe and life-changing results for patients struggling with weakened heart function.

Who Needs CRT?

CRT may be recommended for individuals who have:

• Moderate to severe heart failure symptoms (NYHA Class II–IV)

• Reduced ejection fraction (LVEF ≤ 35%)

• Abnormal electrical conduction (e.g., Left Bundle Branch Block – LBBB)

• Frequent hospitalizations or poor response to medications

How CRT Works

CRT involves implanting a device (CRT-P or CRT-D) with 3 leads:

1. One lead in the right atrium

2. One lead in the right ventricle

3. One lead placed in a vein on the left ventricle (LV)

These leads deliver electrical impulses to synchronize the contractions of the left and right ventricles, helping the heart pump blood more effectively.

Benefits of CRT

• Improves heart function and blood flow

• Reduces breathlessness and fatigue

• Decreases hospital admissions

• Increases exercise capacity

• Improves quality of life and survival

• May be combined with an ICD (CRT-D) to prevent sudden cardiac death
