    Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT or CRT-P) is the insertion of electrodes in the left and right ventricles of the heart, as well as on occasion the right atrium, to treat heart failure by coordinating the function of the left and right ventricles via a pacemaker, a small device inserted into the anterior chest wall.

    CRT: People with NYHA class III or IV, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 35% or less and a QRS interval of 120 ms or more may benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT; pacing both the left and right ventricles), through implantation of a bi-ventricular pacemaker. This treatment modality may alleviate symptoms, improving ...

    This approach was later called cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). His work showed that with CRT net systolic function was enhanced without commensurate increases in oxygen consumption, [17] that is, the heart became more mechanically efficient. [18] He also showed how to predict which patients were most likely to benefit from the ...

    [10] [11] Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has shown the ability to reverse left ventricular remodeling in some patients. [12] [13] Early correction of congenital heart defects, if appropriate, may prevent remodeling, as will treatment of chronic hypertension or valvular heart disease. Often, reverse remodeling, or improvement in left ...
