We at CerebrumCor Clinic treat with sophisticated cardiology and have advanced implantation of AICD (Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) and CRT (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) devices. Both are lifesaving treatments, indeed for patients with severe heart rhythm diseases or heart failure, to return normal heart function and improve the quality of life.
An AICD, or implanted defibrillator, is a small, battery-powered device implanted just beneath the skin, typically in the general vicinity of the collarbone. Its primary function is to monitor heart rhythms and administer electric shocks when it detects dangerously abnormal or rapid heartbeats (arrhythmias), particularly ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, which could be life-threatening.
Such patients should be treated with an AICD if they are at risk of sudden cardiac arrest due to previous heart attacks
or poor heart muscle (cardiomyopathy) or genetic arrhythmias. The cardiologist will recommend this device in the following circumstances:
You have survived an instance of sudden cardiac arrest
You have had sustained ventricular arrhythmias
You have serious heart failure and low ejection fraction
You have specific genetic heart rhythm disorders
such as Long QT syndrome
At CerebrumCor Clinic, we evaluate every patient individually with the help of advanced diagnostics to decide if AICD implantation is appropriate.
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is a second type of implantable device for heart failure patients. Unlike an ordinary pacemaker, a CRT device sends electrical signals to the left and right ventricles, making them contract in coordination. This coordination improves the efficiency of the heart and alleviates symptoms of heart failure such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and swelling.
Types of CRT Devices:
CRT-P (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy – Pacemaker): Helps to govern the heartbeat through paced coordination.
CRT-D (CRT with Defibrillator): Couples pacing with defibrillatory function in patients at risk for sudden cardiac death also.
We bring state-of-the-art technology coupled with patient-sensitive, understanding care at CerebrumCor Clinic. Why is our cardiac device implantation superior?
- Specialized Cardiac Electrophysiologists
Our board-certified electrophysiologists excel at treating and diagnosing advanced heart rhythm diseases. With years of expertise in AICD and CRT procedure, we give the most ideal results and safest patient experience.
- Individualized Treatment Plan
Each patient is unique. That is why we take time to study your medical history, lifestyle, and cardiac status in order to create a treatment plan that is specifically tailored for you.
- Advanced Facility
CerebrumCor Clinic boasts the latest diagnostic tools and minimally invasive surgical techniques to guarantee precise implantation procedures and speedy recovery periods.
- Thorough Follow-Up Care
After the device implantation, ongoing monitoring and follow-up treatment are vital. Our experts provide regular device inspections, remote monitoring, and intense evaluations to ensure your device is functioning as intended and your well-being is good.
Pre-Procedure
Patients also undergo a series of tests for diagnosis prior to implantation, e.g., electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram, Holter monitor, and electrophysiological studies, where required. Pre-procedure instructions regarding fasting and medication adjustments will also be taught to you.
During the Procedure
AICD and CRT device implantations are performed under local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure lasts around 1–2 hours. The device is implanted below the skin, and leads (thin wires) are introduced through veins into the heart under X-ray guidance.
Post-Procedure
Most patients can be discharged home within 24–48 hours. You will have some discomfort at the implant site, but over time you can return to normal activities. You will receive wound care instructions, activity restrictions, and when to return for device programming and follow-up visits.
Today’s CRT and AICD devices are durable and effective. With vigilant monitoring and follow-up, the majority of patients lead active and full lives. At CerebrumCor Clinic, we ensure that you are educated on your device, aware of potential warning signs, and equipped with tips for overcoming daily hurdles such as airport security or home electronics.
If you or the person you care about is experiencing heart failure symptoms or abnormal heart rhythms, don’t wait. Make the call to CerebrumCor Clinic now and schedule a consultation with our experienced cardiac team. We can help you take control of your heart’s health with advanced, compassionate care.
