Enhancing Heart Function with Advanced Synchronization Technology
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is a transformative treatment for patients with heart failure and conduction delays, available at Texas Electrophysiology Associates. CRT device implantation involves placing a specialized device that synchronizes the contractions of the heart’s chambers, improving efficiency and overall heart function.
Understanding CRT Device Implantation
CRT devices are designed to help the heart’s lower chambers (ventricles) beat more uniformly by sending tiny electrical impulses. This therapy is particularly beneficial for patients who have not responded adequately to medication and exhibit symptoms of heart failure along with abnormal heart rhythms.
Benefits of CRT Device Implantation
Improved Heart Efficiency: Helps the heart pump more effectively, improving blood flow to the body.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Many patients experience significant improvements in their ability to perform daily activities and a reduction in heart failure symptoms.
Reduced Hospital Visits: Effective management of heart failure symptoms can lead to fewer hospital stays.
Why Choose Texas Electrophysiology Associates for CRT?
Expertise: Our team of electrophysiologists has extensive experience in CRT device implantation, ensuring optimal placement and functionality of the device.
Advanced Diagnostic Tools: We utilize comprehensive diagnostic assessments to determine the best candidates for CRT.
Personalized Care: Every patient’s treatment plan is tailored to their specific needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
What to Expect During the CRT Implantation Procedure
CRT device implantation is performed under local anesthesia and mild sedation. The procedure typically involves making a small incision near the shoulder to insert the CRT device just under the skin. Leads from the device are guided through the veins into the heart to ensure proper electrical stimulation. Most patients return home the day after the procedure and can resume normal activities shortly thereafter.
Schedule Your CRT Consultation
If you are suffering from heart failure with an irregular heartbeat and conventional treatments have not been effective, CRT device implantation may be a suitable option. Contact Texas Electrophysiology Associates at (713) 795-5014 to schedule a consultation and find out how CRT can improve your heart function and quality of life.
