NP says World Heart may further delay human testing World Heart Corp WHT Shares issued 14,078,743 Sep 3 close $16.00 Tue 7 Sept 99 In the News The National Post reports in its Saturday edition that World Heart Corp. is unlikely to begin the first human trial of its artificial heart until the second quarter of 2000, Rod Bryden, chairman and chief executive, said Friday. A problem with the backup battery for the device forced the company to delay the first human implant beyond the company?s long-stated goal of December, 1999. When World Heart revealed the problem July 16, Mr. Bryden said he expected the trial would begin next February or March. While that may still be possible, he said Friday, ?The time may not fit with the end of March.? If all goes smoothly the heart may be ready to be implanted then, he said. But last-minute glitches could still occur. ¸ Copyright 1999 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com
