Is the CRT a new type pacemaker? I am on my 3rd ICD/Pacemaker from Boston Scientific and have not heard of CRT-P.

My device has wires in both atrials and the LV. I am paced continuously to keep my pulse to 70 bpm. If I go into VTAC my device will first speed my pacing up to bring me out of it. If not successful a shock and if that is not successful a higher shock.

As you can see by me posting this it has worked every time!

Hello, thank you for your input. I believe the CRT-P are fairly new from Biotronik. My ventricles were not insync so resyncrination was what was called for in my condition. As I understand, since my AV Node ablation caused my ventricles to handle the workload, they needed to be more efficient to carry the load, thus a different pacemaker with an additional lead was needed. I feel much better but still somewhat limited in what I can do. So thankful for my excellent Cardiologist from Mayo.
