Hi idos,

Sorry I missed your post somehow. Cardiologists are a bunch of people who move very slowly on new drugs. There is not much of a compelling reason for them to reco the costlier Ranexa before the MERLIN results early next year. I heard a few of them are reco to use Ranexa with Viagra since other nitrates are contraindicated :-)

I also like Regadenoson in their portfolio and looking to see more data from CVT 6883 in Asthma like today. But their primary driver is MERLIN results and Regadenoson phase III results(I think it is Q4 06).
