What Is A CRT-D?
If your heart isn't pumping efficiently, a CRT-D could be the solution you need. A cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator (CRT-D) is a specialized device that helps coordinate the timing of the heart's contractions while also delivering a shock if it detects life-threatening arrhythmias. Commonly used for patients with heart failure or arrhythmias, a CRT-D improves the heart's ability to pump blood more effectively. This device can make a big difference in managing heart conditions and improving quality of life.

How Does A CRT-D Work?
A CRT-D works by sending electrical signals to help both sides of the heart beat in sync, improving its ability to pump blood. It also functions as a defibrillator, delivering a shock if it detects a dangerous heart rhythm. Unlike a standard pacemaker, which only regulates slow heartbeats, a CRT-D coordinates the heart's contractions and prevents fatal arrhythmias. At AZ Cardiology, our team is dedicated to offering high-quality, personalized care to ensure each patient receives the most effective treatment for their heart condition.
What Are the Benefits of A CRT-D?
A CRT-D offers significant benefits for individuals with heart failure or irregular heart rhythms. This advanced device helps improve our Arizona patients' heart function and protects against deadly arrhythmias. A few of the primary advantages include:
- Synchronizing the heart's contractions for improved blood flow
- Reducing symptoms of heart failure, such as fatigue and shortness of breath
- Lowering the risk of sudden cardiac arrest
- Improving overall heart efficiency and quality of life
- Providing dual functions of cardiac resynchronization and defibrillation in one device
