  • Overview

    Even with guideline-directed medical therapy, or GDMT, many patients with heart failure are limited in their daily activities, due to increasing symptoms and reduced functionality. However, new data from BeAT-HF, a clinical trial that examines the long-term effects of baroreflex activation therapy, or BAT, shows that BAT may provide patients with sustained and durable benefits in exercise capacity, functional status, and quality of life.

  • Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest
