Has Anyone Heard Of The Heart Brain Device Thats Being Used On Heart Failure
Are you talking about the Barostim device? It was FDA approved in 2019. I had mine implanted April 28, 2022. I am delighted with the results. I was able to discontinue Entresto and diuretics because of the support my heart and kidneys now receive. My blood pressure has stabilized at 120/80 and my heart function has come up from 20% to 29%.
it is something I am learning about its kinda like an aicd it is implanted in the {devive}chest with a lead to the heart and a lead to the brain thru the caroid artey... it tells the brain to pump more oxygen to the heart so our breathing is better I still do not understand it completely I saw a cardio vascular surgeon that does the procedure he did a test on my caroids now I go back to see him in 2 weeks to talk to him about the whole procedure and how it realy works I was told by my cardio Dr its simple and not dangerous in hospital that day and back home but I have to get all the ins and outs from the surgeon,,,,I will let you know more later OH and it has been around since 2013 for HF its callled I believe BAROment I think
Hi
I also was reading about the same thing. You can also still have it implanted if you have
A defibrillator like myself

And will let everyone know
How it went
It's called Barostym, similar to size of a pacemaker, that attaches to blood vessels in the neck andans signals are sent to the brain to stimulate the heart according to the readings it gets.
I was scheduled to have gotten one on November 6 , but was put on the HEART β€οΈ TRANSPLANT list on November 1, 2023. Dr said don't even bother.
To Betty CorderWilsonVosberg, I have not heard of your procedure but I am on C-pap machine, does help me sleep π€π΄. That is helping with oxygen but it is from Hell. I also know about TMS treatment. I'm trying 2 get more info. and talk 2 people who have had these 36 treatments. It's like MRI on the π§ brain. I also have anxiety and panic attack issues π¬πΈ. ( I'm still thinking π€π¬ about this) What do you all think?πΆπππ€π€π€¨
