Implants For Heart Failure

For an extensive duration, implantable devices have been used in the treatment of heart diseases. These devices, surgically positioned within the body, play a crucial role in administering pacing or electric impulses to the heart, effectively managing abnormal rhythms and fostering cardiac health.

At the heart of this revolutionary approach lies a range of implantable devices, each tailored to address specific cardiac conditions. These devices meticulously monitor heart rhythm and intervene when irregularities arise.

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)

Widely recognized as an ICD, the implantable cardioverter defibrillator is a remarkable battery-powered device designed to closely track heart rate. It is used in a patient with sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. By promptly recognizing and responding to potentially life-threatening arrhythmias, the ICD plays a pivotal role in averting sudden cardiac death, offering vital protection to those vulnerable to these critical episodes.

Pacemaker

The implant assumes a vital role when the heart's natural pacemaker falters. It steps in when the heart beats too rapidly or slowly, ensuring that the heart maintains a steady, consistent rhythm, thereby enhancing overall cardiac function.

Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)

The left ventricle, a formidable muscular chamber of the heart, orchestrates the vital task of pumping oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. When the left ventricle encounters challenges in fulfilling this duty, the Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) emerges as a remarkable solution. Operating on battery power, the LVAD assumes the responsibility of bolstering the heart's pumping action. It helps sustain essential blood circulation, mitigating potential complications stemming from the left ventricle's diminished performance.
