Pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices are all innovative medical devices used to treat various heart conditions and rhythm disorders. While they share the goal of maintaining a steady heart rhythm, they are different in their functions and applications. Pacemaker: A pacemaker is a small electronic device that assists the heart … Continue reading Are All Pacemakers the Same? What is the Difference Between Pacemaker, ICD & CRT?

Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)
The human heart relies on a complex system of electrical signals to maintain a steady rhythm and pump blood effectively. Occasionally, disruptions in this electrical system can occur, leading to abnormal heart rhythms known as arrhythmias. One such arrhythmia is ventricular tachycardia (VT). What is Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)? Ventricular tachycardia is a rapid heart rhythm … Continue reading Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)
