Ablation (sounds like ah-blay-shun) is a medical procedure used to correct certain heart rhythm problems, such as supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). It restores the normal regular rhythm of the heart by scarring the tissue in the heart that triggers the abnormal rhythm. This allows the heart to return to normal regular rhythm. (English)

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a small electronic device used to treat heart failure. It delivers tiny amounts of electrical impulses to the heart causing both ventricles to pump together in a coordinated way. There are 2 types of these devices: a CRT pacemaker (CRT-P) and a CRT defibrillator (CRT-D). Both can send an electrical impulse to your heart, triggering a heartbeat when needed. A CRT-D can also deliver a life-saving shock to return the heart rhythm back to normal. (English)
