- AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Doctors at St. David's Medical Center recently became among the first in the U.S. to implant a new neurostimulator technology to help treat advanced heart failure.
- The Barostim System is the only technology approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to use the nervous system to control heart failure and improve the function of the cardiovascular system.
- This triggers the baroreflex, the body's main cardiovascular reflex, causing an autonomic, or involuntary, response to the heart.
- The therapy is designed to restore balance to the autonomic nervous system and thereby reduce the symptoms of heart failure.
