Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT): Treatment and Management
from Cardiology Course FM Hosted by Dr. A M Thirugnanam, MD, MSICP, FSCAI, Ph.D.
In our last episode we discussed conduction defects and pacemaker modes. Today we focus on one of the most important device therapies for heart failure: cardiac resynchronisation therapy, or CRT. For the right patient, it can transform breathlessness into an active life, shrink a dilated heart and reduce the risk of death. But around a third of patients don't respond as hoped. So who should receive CRT, how is it implanted, how do we make sure it works, and what are the new alternatives, such as conduction system pacing? Guest: Dr. A M Thirugnanam, MD, MSICP, FSCAI, Ph.D., Senior Interventional Cardiologist, author, educator and founder of the Academy of Elite Doctors.
