Pacemaker/CRT Treatment with Dr. Bharat Agarwal
If you’re struggling with heart rhythm issues or symptoms of heart failure, a pacemaker or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) may be the solution. Dr. Bharat Agarwal, a leading cardiologist, offers advanced treatment options to help regulate your heart’s rhythm, improve heart function, and enhance your overall quality of life.
What is a Pacemaker?
A pacemaker is a small, battery-powered device implanted under the skin, typically near your collarbone, to regulate your heart’s rhythm. It sends electrical impulses to the heart when it detects abnormal or slow heartbeats. Pacemakers are commonly used to treat:
- Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
- Heart block (interrupted electrical signals)
- Atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythms)
By restoring a normal rhythm, a pacemaker can relieve symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and fainting, allowing you to lead a more active and healthy life.
What is Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)?
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is a specialized pacemaker treatment for patients with heart failure. In heart failure, the heart struggles to pump blood effectively, and the chambers may not contract in sync. CRT uses a device to stimulate both ventricles of the heart, improving coordination and efficiency of heart contractions.
Who needs a Pacemaker/CRT?
Pacemakers/CRT devices are recommended for patients with various heart rhythm disorders or heart failure. These conditions may include:
- Bradycardia: Slow heart rate causing dizziness, fatigue, or fainting.
- Heart Block: Delayed or blocked electrical signals in the heart.
- Atrial Fibrillation (AF): Irregular heart rhythms that lead to symptoms like palpitations and shortness of breath.
- Congestive Heart Failure: CRT can improve the heart’s efficiency, relieving symptoms and improving quality of life.
- Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB): When the heart’s electrical signals are delayed, causing inefficient pumping.
Dr. Agarwal will conduct a thorough evaluation using diagnostic tests such as ECG and echocardiograms to determine the most suitable treatment for your condition.
Benefits of Pacemaker/CRT Treatment
- Regulates Heart Rhythm: Pacemakers prevent slow heart rates and irregular rhythms, improving circulation and reducing symptoms.
- Improves Heart Function: CRT helps the heart pump blood more effectively, especially in heart failure patients.
- Reduces Symptoms: Both treatments can reduce fatigue, shortness of breath, and dizziness, allowing for a better quality of life.
- Prevents Complications: A pacemaker or CRT can reduce the risk of stroke, sudden cardiac arrest, and hospitalizations.
