Consulta CRT-P

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Pacemaker

Consulta Cardiac Resynchronization Pacemaker (CRT-P)

The Medtronic Consulta® CRT-P system is designed specifically for patients who are candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy and indicated for a bradycardia pacemaker.

How It Works

Consulta® CRT-P combines industry-leading pacing technology, cardiac resynchronization therapy, and Medtronic exclusive features for proactive heart failure management.

  • Exclusive OptiVol Fluid Status Monitoring
  • Five pacing vectors
  • Ensure CRT with exclusive Complete Capture Management
  • Convenient follow-up with leadless ECG and Medtronic CareLink® Network

Important Safety Information

Changes in a patient's disease and/or medications may alter the efficacy of a device's programmed parameters or related features and may impact longevity.

Heart Failure Diagnostics

Medtronic heart failure diagnostic tools help clinicians identify patients at risk of heart failure hospitalization:1-7

OptiVol® Fluid Status Monitoring uses intrathoracic impedance to indicate fluid status in heart failure patients.

CardioSight Reader helps clinicians quickly identify issues and respond to significant clinical events in heart failure patients.
