These changes are positioning Ventripoint to become better aligned with patient and clinician needs and to support revenue generation and growth” said Hugh MacNaught, Ventripoint President & CEO.
“We remain committed to enhancing the level of care provided to the 13 million worldwide sufferers of congenital heart defects with affordable, accurate and reliable measurements of heart structure and function and intend to establish market leadership by 2025. Concurrently the Company is actively identifying additional clinical indications and market segments in which VMS+ offers a clear value proposition.”
