Frequently Asked Questions
Cardiac resynchronisation therapy helps the heart's chambers beat in a coordinated
way, improving symptoms in certain patients with heart failure.
A pacemaker corrects a slow heart rhythm, while an ICD also detects and stops
dangerous fast rhythms that can cause sudden cardiac death.
A pacemaker is needed when the heart beats too slowly, helping maintain a steady,
safe heart rate.
Catheter ablation treats an abnormal heart rhythm by targeting and neutralising the
small area of heart tissue causing it.
It is a catheter based test that maps the heart's electrical signals to find the cause of
an abnormal rhythm and guide treatment.
