If you have heart failure[1] and have developed arrhythmia[2], you may be a candidate for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

What is CRT and how can it help your heart?

Arrhythmias are irregular heart rhythms and can be caused by a variety of reasons, including age, heart damage, medications and genetics. In heart failure patients CRT, or biventricular pacing, is used to help improve the heart’s rhythm and the symptoms associated with the arrhythmia.

The procedure involves implanting a half-dollar sized pacemaker[3], usually just below the collarbone. Three wires (leads) connected to the device monitor the heart rate to detect heart rate irregularities and emit tiny pulses of electricity to correct them. In effect, it is "resynchronizing" the heart.
