Respicardia, Inc

I received the remede system implant in January of 2020 and it’s been a life changer for me. It’s given me back the quality of life that I had hoped I would once have again. I have the desire and the stamina to be active again and it’s all thanks to Respicardia and the remede system!

The people from Respicardia are wonderful to work with and as great as they are, their product, the remede system, is even greater. I’m fortunate to have found them and I would encourage anyone with CSA to contact Respicardia to learn about what the remede system can for them.

I had the Respicardia Remedē device implanted in 2014 and over the course of several months my device was tweaked by Respicardia techs and I could finally get restful sleep. The techs configured the device differently for all of my sleep positions – back, stomach, left side and right side. The intensity of the device is different depending on whether I am laying on my back, stomach or left and right side.

I am grateful for the Remedē device and feel that it saved my life. I was unaware of the correlation between Central Sleep Apnea and heart disease before my Remedē was implanted. When I started having strange symptoms that were not typical of heart disease I knew that something was going on so I saw my primary care doctor who sent me for an Echo Stress test. I failed the Echo Stress test as I had one artery blocked in two places with one area at 90 percent blockage and the other at 95 percent blockage. I now have two stents and am thankful that I knew to get tested before I had a heart attack which according to the cardiologist would have most likely been fatal. The artery involved was what they call the widow maker.

I am grateful to Respicardia for creating the Remedē which gives me restorative sleep and for letting me know that I should be routinely checked for heart problems. I would highly recommend the Remedē to anyone with Central Sleep Apnea.
