Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT)

Post implantation, wound care will be taught to the patient and appointments will be given to ensure proper wound healing.

Regular assessment of the device’s battery life and functionality is compulsory for all patients with a CRT device. Hence, patients are required to return to National Heart Centre Singapore for regular follow-up sessions.  When the device’s battery is depleted after a few years, it will need to be replaced by another minor surgical procedure.
