Evaluation: Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Pacemakers—Comparing Key Features

Cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemakers (CRT-Ps) are implanted in patients to help treat cardiac conditions stemming from problems with the heart's electrical conduction system—particularly treatment of ventricular dyssynchrony. Such problems can be serious and are often life-threatening.

CRT-Ps can vary widely in their capabilities, and with new algorithms and technologies entering the market under manufacturer-specific...
