A novel heart failure therapy option

If you suffer from the symptoms of heart failure, and the medications you have been prescribed are not enough to help you return to the activities you enjoy, Barostim may be the right therapeutic option for you.

Getting Barostim

How Barostim™ therapy works

Barostim is a simple and implantable heart failure device that works by stimulating baroreceptors – natural sensors in our body that tell the nervous system how to regulate heart, kidney and vascular function. These effects may reduce the heart’s workload and help it pump more efficiently, helping to relieve the symptoms of heart failure.
