Dr. Siddarth Dagli specializes in the implantation of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy with Defibrillator (CRT-D), a crucial device for patients with Chronic Congestive Heart Failure (CHF).
What is CRT-D?
CRT-D is a combination device designed to improve heart function and prevent life-threatening arrhythmias. It consists of:
-
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT): Delivers electrical impulses to both ventricles to enhance coordination and improve the heart’s pumping efficiency.
-
Defibrillator (ICD): Detects and treats dangerous arrhythmias by delivering corrective shocks, reducing the risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
Who Needs CRT-D?
-
Patients with moderate to severe heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV)
-
Individuals with a reduced ejection fraction (less than 35 percent)
-
Those experiencing ventricular dyssynchrony, where the heart’s chambers beat out of sync
Benefits of CRT-D
-
Improves heart function and reduces symptoms of heart failure
-
Lowers hospitalization rates and enhances overall quality of life
-
Provides protection against sudden cardiac death from dangerous arrhythmias
With extensive experience in heart failure management, Dr. Siddarth Dagli ensures personalized, advanced care for patients needing CRT-D implantation.
