Barostim

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Davvenport, FL

My doctor suggested that I get a Barostim implant as pills alone aren't alleviating my symptoms adequately and my EF is still low. Anyone have any experience with this?

I have never heard of a Barostim, I have ow EF of 45, may I ask what is your symptoms. I sometimes feel like my EF may be sliding down recently for I feel more tied. Hope the Barostim helps with you.

It is supposed to help with shortness of breath and tiredness. It is implanted just under the skin and hooked up to a vein or artery (I can't remember which) in the neck and somehow sends signals to the brain to help with the symptoms.
