Despite the use of effective drug and device therapies, many patients with HFrEF continue to experience worsening symptoms and disease progression. Barostim is a novel device therapy that works with drug therapies to target the neurohormonal pathways responsible for heart failure progression and symptoms. Most importantly, 94% of patients receiving the device had significant improvement in quality of life, exercise capacity or functional status heart failure symptoms.(1)

And a just-out Heart Failure Society of America consensus statement is urging physicians to look to devices earlier in treatment. Two leading heart failure specialists and an HF program leader share their experience, perspective, and outcomes incorporating Barostim into their comprehensive advanced heart failure programs. Plus, we’ll dig into the reimbursement and payment landscape that’s helping programs grow and thrive.
