Barostim™ is a novel implantable device for treating Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction, also known as systolic heart failure.
Barostim stimulates baroreceptors, natural sensors in your body that tell the nervous system how to regulate the heart, kidneys and blood vessels. These effects may reduce the heart’s workload and help it pump more efficiently, alleviating heart failure symptoms like breathlessness, fatigue and swelling.
If medications are not enough and you feel excessively fatigued and/or breathless when going for a walk or up the stairs, Barostim may be right for you.
