CRT (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) in Bangalore
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is an
advanced treatment for patients with moderate to severe heart
failure and abnormal heart rhythms. CRT uses a specialized
pacemaker (CRT-P) or a combination device with defibrillator
(CRT-D) to coordinate the contractions of the heart’s left and
right ventricles, improving its pumping efficiency and
reducing symptoms like fatigue, breathlessness, and swelling.
"CRT not only improves quality of life but can also extend
survival for patients with heart failure — especially when
medications alone are not enough."
At our cardiac care center in Bangalore,
Dr. Basavaraj Utagi provides expert CRT
implantation using the latest technology and imaging guidance.
With over 13 years of experience in device-based therapies, he
customizes every CRT plan based on the patient's heart
function, ECG findings, and response to medications.
What Does CRT Treat?
-
Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction
(HFrEF):
Improves coordination between the heart’s chambers,
enhancing blood flow.
-
Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB):
Corrects delayed electrical conduction that disrupts
heart rhythm and function.
-
Advanced NYHA Class III or IV Symptoms:
Reduces hospitalizations and improves energy in severely
symptomatic patients.
-
Patients Unresponsive to Medications Alone:
CRT offers hope to those not improving with standard
heart failure therapy.
Types of CRT Devices We Offer
-
CRT-P (Pacemaker): Delivers
synchronized pacing to the left and right ventricles to
improve heart function.
-
CRT-D (Defibrillator): Combines CRT
pacing with a life-saving shock feature to prevent
sudden cardiac death.
-
MRI-Compatible Devices: Safe for
patients who require MRI scans for other health
conditions.
-
Remote Monitoring Options: Allows
follow-up from home and early detection of device or
rhythm issues.
