Who Can Benefit from BPID Implantation?
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy is used for people who have:
- Heart failure that hasn’t improved with lifestyle changes and/or medication, with a significant decrease in the ability to function or exercise
- A weakened heart muscle. We may assess the degree of decrease in heart function using tests such as an echocardiogram or ultrasound of the heart
- A delay in the beating of the heart ventricles; a measurement on the routine electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) usually indicates this delay
