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.
