CRT-P

[Cocokiwi]

Hi everyone,I was wondering if there are any others on this site have had a CRT-P implanted. I've had a pacemaker for over 20 years but have left bundle branch block which has been causing a lot of problems hence the upgrade. Just wanted to find out how people got on with it ?

Hi I have a a CRT-D and have no problems whatsoever with it . In fact to be honest I don’t realise I have it unless I catch a glimpse of it in the mirror when dressing.

Thank you, that is very reassuring. I'm pleased to hear that you have had no problems and are doing fine. Feeling more optimistic about it now.

I have a CRTP. I also have LBBB, tachy/Brady syndrome, and PAF. Was diagnosed in 2022, this is my first pacemaker. I have not had any problems at all since it was inserted. I am also on a cocktail of medications, and feel very well. My EF has also improved.

That is certainly good news. I've had LBBB since 2012 and tachycardia/Brady. Had 3 pacemakers so far but this is an upgrade due to LBBB QRS of 166 and a reduced ejection fraction. The EF was 59 which was fine until I got COVID then it nosedived.
