Barostim for Heart Failure – Key Points:
1. Heart Failure is Rising:
Rates of heart failure are increasing and expected to worsen in the future.
2. New Solution: Barostim Device
• Barostim is a small implantable device that sends electrical signals to special sensors in the neck.
• These signals help the brain control the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels, which helps patients with low ejection fraction.
3. Why Barostim?
At Duke University, Barostim was added to their heart failure program to help improve outcomes in advanced heart failure patients.
4. How It Helps:
• In heart failure patients, this natural brain-body communication is reduced.
• Barostim helps restore that communication, improving body function and reducing risk.
