Показать описание
CRT and defibrillators are advanced forms of pacemakers. When the heart functions are normal, it beats at 60-100 beats per minute. But when the heart's lower chambers beat faster, it results in a dangerous heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. It is common among heart failure patients and can cause sudden cardiac arrest.

What are defibrillators?

Defibrillators are advised to prevent heart failure patients from getting sudden cardiac arrest. A defibrillator provides shock when a patient experiences ventricular tachycardia and regulates the heart rhythm.

What is cardiac resynchronization therapy?

The heart function for heart failure patients usually would be above 60%. When the heart function percentage drops low in these patients, cardiac resynchronization therapy is given.
