Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood as effectively as it should. Management combines medical therapy with, where appropriate, device-based treatment such as Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) to help the heart’s chambers beat in a more coordinated way.
What It Involves
- Comprehensive clinical evaluation and monitoring of heart failure symptoms
- Optimisation of medical therapy
- CRT device implantation for eligible patients
Who May Need This
- Patients diagnosed with heart failure requiring ongoing management
- Patients whose cardiologist has identified them as candidates for CRT
What to Expect
Heart failure management is typically an ongoing process involving regular follow-up. For patients receiving a CRT device, implantation is performed as a catheter-based procedure with device programming and periodic review.
