CRF announces late breaking trials and first report investigations to be presented at TCT 2010

August 5th, 2010

August 5, 2010 - The Cardiovascular Research Foundation has announced the late breaking trials and first report investigations that will be presented at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) 2010 scientific symposium. Findings from these clinical trials are expected to significantly impact interventional cardiology practices and patient care. TCT 2010 will take place September 21 - 25 in Washington, DC.

The studies selected will shed new light on the effectiveness of minimally invasive techniques, pharmaceuticals, technologies and devices that show potential to treat or prevent heart disease, one of the leading causes of death globally.

Late-breaking clinical trials and first report investigations will be highlighted during press conferences scheduled for Thursday, September 23, Friday, September 24, and Saturday, September 25.
