Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective therapy associated with the heart failure and dysynchrony diagnosed as a prolonged QRS duration. Improved exercise tolerance, reduced remodeling (reduction in LV chamber size and measures of mitral regurgitation), reduced mortality are beneficial for the therapy.

 

The pacemaker, defibrillators, ventricular assist device, Biosensors are the heart devices used in treatment of heart diseases.  These devices are used in correcting some heart disease conditions effectively on a long-term basis. They may also act as a transition for the more invasive treatment plan, such as a heart transplant. Implanted medical devices may be recommended when other treatments don’t work.

 

Ventricular assist device (VAD) is a mechanical pump device that is used to support the blood flow and heart function in the people  who have weak hearts, takes blood from a lower chamber of heart and helps in pumping to the body including the vital organs just as a healthy  heart would.
