Sydänlaitteisiin

Sydänlaitteisiin refers to medical devices designed to treat or manage heart conditions. These devices are typically implanted within the body and can include pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices. Pacemakers are used to regulate the heart's rhythm by sending electrical impulses to the heart muscle, helping to maintain a normal heartbeat. ICDs are more advanced, capable of both pacing and defibrillating the heart, which is crucial for treating life-threatening arrhythmias. CRT devices are designed to treat heart failure by coordinating the activity of the heart's two lower chambers, the ventricles. These devices play a vital role in modern cardiac care, improving the quality of life for patients with heart conditions and reducing the risk of sudden cardiac death.
