Listen "Optimizing Barostim Outcomes: Practical Approaches to Patient Selection and Monitoring "
Episode Synopsis
Host: Cynthia J. Bither, ACNP-BC, MSN
Guest: Andrea Wallace, MSN, FNP-C, HF-Cert
Medical devices such as Barostim – or baroreflex activation therapy (BAT) – can play an important role in improving the quality of life and providing symptom relief for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, or HFrEF. NPs and nurses are key members of the healthcare team who identify patients as potential candidates for this therapy, due in large part to their expertise in eliciting symptoms and getting the full picture from patients regarding the impact of HFrEF on their quality of life. As the direct – and oftentimes most frequent – point of contact for patients, advanced care and allied health professionals can lead the way to open and honest communication with the goal of optimizing treatment plans and positively impacting patient outcomes.
