In this video, Dr. Mitch Tan, a cardiac electrophysiology fellow at the Texas Heart Institute, explains cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and how it can improve the lives of people with heart failure.
Dr. Tan uses an easy-to-understand analogy to explain CRT:
Imagine you and a partner are in a three-legged race. To move efficiently and win the race, you both need to coordinate your movements. Similarly, the walls of the heart need to work together to pump blood effectively. CRT helps restore this coordination in patients with heart failure.
