OUR AGENDA FOR THIS MONTH

This is intended for pharmacists, pharmacologists, and other health professionals who specialize or have an interest in heart failure.

2021 BCR - ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

Barostim is a simple and implantable device that works by stimulating baroreceptors – natural sensors in our body that tell the nervous system how to regulate heart, kidney and vascular function. These effects may reduce the heart’s workload and help it pump more efficiently, helping to relieve the symptoms of heart failure.

2021 BCR - HF FUNDAMENTALS

 The HeartStart FRx can typically deliver a shock within 8 seconds after the end of a CPR pause. The Quick Shock feature helps minimize the interruption of CPR chest compressions, increasing the chance that a shock will result in a successful conversion from a life-threatening rhythm.  

2021 BCR - SHOCK/MCS

Medtronic has stopped the distribution and sale of the HVAD™ System as of June 3, 2021 and has notified physicians to cease new implants of the HVAD System and transition to an alternative commercially available left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) for all future implants. Replacement of the HVAD System is not recommended at this time for patients who currently have the device because, in the vast majority of cases, the risks associated with additional surgery outweighs the benefit of a replacement device. If you have questions about this, please contact your healthcare provider.
