Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Heart Failure

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a device-based treatment for patients with advanced heart failure and ventricular dyssynchrony. It improves heart efficiency, symptoms, and survival.

Key Highlights:

• Indications: Patients with reduced ejection fraction, widened QRS complex, and persistent symptoms despite optimal medical therapy.
• Mechanism: CRT coordinates contraction of the left and right ventricles to improve cardiac output.
• Clinical benefits: Reduces hospitalization, improves exercise tolerance, and enhances quality of life.
• Device monitoring: Remote follow-up ensures optimal pacing and detects complications early.
• Future developments: Integration with AI allows predictive modeling for therapy response.

CRT remains a cornerstone therapy for select heart failure patients, combining mechanical support with advanced monitoring technologies.
