BarostimTM is an FDA-approved, implantable neuromodulation therapy device to improve symptoms of heart failure. Many patients experience improved quality of life and exercise capacity.
Use the power of your brain to treat your heart failure symptoms.
Baroreceptors are natural sensors near the heart that detect blood pressure and volume. With this information, the sensors send signals to your brain to regulate how your heart pumps blood to the body. In heart failure, these signals to your brain are diminished.
BarostimTM electrically mimics these signals and amplifies them so your brain can once again regulate your heart function. Treatment may improve circulation to your body, increasing your exercise capacity and allowing you to feel better so you can embrace the daily activities you love.
The BarostimTM System is implanted in an outpatient surgical procedure. A lead is sutured to the carotid sinus and the BarostimTM NEO2 is inserted in standard device pocket.
There is minimal risk with the implant, beyond general risks for surgery and anesthesia.
