CVRx will host two symposia sharing insights on Barostim’s role in the heart failure care continuum and its integration into clinical practice.
On Friday, Oct. 9 from 7:00–8:30 a.m., Device-Based Neurohormonal Intervention: The Role of Barostim in Heart Failure Care will explore the clinical evidence supporting Barostim, patient selection, integration into guideline-directed care and practical considerations for implementation.
On Sunday, Oct. 11 from 1:00–2:00 p.m., Successful Barostim Program Development: A Critical Component of the Heart Failure Care Continuum will address multidisciplinary collaboration, patient identification, referral pathways, workflow integration and best practices for developing and sustaining a successful Barostim program.
“We are excited by the scientific interest in Barostim at this year’s HFSA conference, with four separate data sets, five podium discussions and two symposia focused on practical elements for incorporating Barostim into clinical practice,” said Kevin Hykes, President and Chief Executive Officer of CVRx. “The data being presented provide important new scientific insights about Barostim across patient populations, clinical outcomes and real-world practice, contributing to a broader understanding of its role in the heart failure continuum.”
