Like I said i don't know.More time?
That is what we were saying before the results were out.That we needed more time, now that we have the results we say again more time?
maybe that is what people selling today didn't like.
I am a bit frustrated because with all the news coverage yesterday and someone else mentioning that Wall Street Journal interviewd Vaso's CEO
and USA Today interview Vaso officials.
Despite that Vaso dropped like a rock today and instead of 3.75 we
have 2.75!
Still looking for an explanation...
(unless people selling know some bad news that we don't)

Hi Bev:
Thanks for your clear thinking. I agree completely with your assessment of VASO. This is a new protocol that just had its first real news announcement and a spectacular one at that. This one's a keeper.

Bev--Your post was right on target. I have little to add except emphasize one of your points-- how market-driven medicine is now. There will be immediate circulation (pun intended) of the results to angina patients about EECP. They will pressure their insurance comapnies, who, in turn, will see the cost benefits. Right now, I am sure every one of the centers involved in the MUST-EECP study are getting many calls. The market must expand.

Not to be cynical, but I am glad there are empirical data supporting EECP, because, unfortunately, people with angina will go after treatments of dubious efficacy.

good investing--fred

EECP is a mechanical pump device to be recommended by medical ( pharmaceutical) and hands-on interventional minded cardiologists. Tough sell. This is why stents are so popular...the Dr. puts it in..finished.

The study presented at AHA did not mention how long the relief of angina lasted???? 4 - 6 week treatment time..long-term results??

TMR/PMR may be a better long-time solution to chronic, stable angina.
