Devices Will Increasingly Compete with Drugs in the Treatment of Chronic Cardiovascular Conditions

BURLINGTON, Mass., April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Decision Resources Group Senior Analyst Sean Messenger will be presenting at the Life Sciences Forum hosted by CINDE in San Jose, Costa Rica, on April 7, 2014. His presentation will focus on where competitors in cardiovascular device markets should seek future growth. With the exception of valve replacement, much of the growth resulting from the switch from surgical to minimally invasive procedures has already been realized, so future opportunities in the cardiovascular device market will come from applying devices to chronic conditions that are currently drug treated.

In his presentation, The Next Five Years in the Global Cardiovascular Device Market, Mr. Messenger will identify and examine specific future areas of growth in cardiovascular medical devices worldwide.

What you will learn from attending:

• Where specific opportunities in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) will be found.
• How Left Atrial Appendage devices will compete with anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation stroke prevention.
• How renal denervation's failure in its first big test may open the door to other innovative technologies that address hypertension.

New information presented at the American College of Cardiology's recent conference will affect all of these segments. Mr. Messenger's presentation will incorporate the latest product announcements and clinical trial results, as well as new developments in health economics.

Decision Resources Group provides extensive data and analysis on pharmaceutical, medical device, market access and epidemiological trends in cardiovascular markets worldwide, and Mr. Messenger's presentation will draw from proprietary data and analysis on these specific market segments.
