biventricular pacing

Biventricular pacing is a type of heart therapy used to improve how effectively the heart pumps blood. It involves a special device called a pacemaker that sends electrical signals to both the right and left ventricles (the heart's main pumping chambers) simultaneously. This synchronized pacing helps coordinate their contractions, which is especially beneficial for people with heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms. By improving coordination, biventricular pacing can enhance blood flow, reduce symptoms like fatigue and shortness of breath, and potentially improve overall heart function and quality of life.
