Year-end Report, January – December 2016
Completed listing prepares Acarix for commercialization of CADScor®System
“Heart disease is the number one killer worldwide and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) affects more than 120 million people annually causing 1 in 6 deaths globally. However, 90% of patients seeking medical care are not suffering from CAD, which means healthy patients are undergoing invasive and potentially harmful diagnostic tests and spiraling healthcare costs. At Acarix, we are determined to help healthcare providers and policy makers deliver better patient selection and more efficient diagnostic pathways, and the Acarix CADScor®System offers exactly that opportunity to benefit both individual patients and society at large.”
