Barostim

Does anyone have experience with barostim? I am considering it Thanks

  1. Hi ! I see you joined our community this week, so I wanted to say welcome! I'd love to see if others could chime in with their experience here. Was this something that was recommended by your doctor? -Jessica, Team Member

    1. Thank you for sharing. Although I haven’t had any experience with the barostim, I had a dual chamber pacemaker in which the leads were connected onto the atriums of my original heart. If this is something your doctor recommended, there must be a good reason and perhaps the doctor may feel is the best fit for your heart. Hope everything goes well and you choose the best option for you. Leslie (Community Moderator)

      1. Great to see your question. My cardiologist recommended I consider it also. Have a pacemaker already. I'm having trouble finding any info other than the "packaged" testimonials from the drug company.

        1. We do have an article bout barotism. If you are interested in checking it out, I will post a link here (https://heart-failure.net/clinical/barostim). I hope this helps. John. community moderator

      2. Thanks for the article. What I would really appreciate is to hear from someone who has had the Barostim experience. I can't find anyone.
