CRT-Ps are an advanced implantable form of conventional pacemakers. They help the heart function efficiently by monitoring its signals and coordinating with the ventricles to contract at the same time. These devices resynchronize the heart's rhythm to improve breathlessness and fatigue, and avoid dizziness and fainting in individuals. Physicians surgically implant the CRT-P under the skin, below the collarbone. They connect the electrical leads through a blood vessel into the heart. Unlike conventional pacemakers, CRT-Ps have two leads: one placed into the right ventricle and the other in the right atrium. An extra lead is implanted on the left side of the heart to stimulate the left ventricle, assisting the heart to pump efficiently. The implantation process and the use of these devices can cause infections around the implant site and damage the blood vessels, heart wall, and other organs.
