MB, I was able to have a conversation with a cardiologist that has been using the VASO equipment for a long time. His experience with it as an adjunct is very positive. In addition to the Mayo studies as well as the others the key factor in VASO's success in his opinion is the Medicare acceptance of this therapy as a reimbursable procedure. He sighted several other companies whose success exploded after crossing the Medicare hurdle. Medicare's strategy is moving more toward preventive care as baby boomer age and that is what this tool accomplishes by putting the mechanical action of the heart on the right side of the Starling Curve, therefore preventing more serious and expensive health issues later on.
