The sales funnel has also expanded with 12 clinical studies being planned to show the merits of the VMS+ approach to cardiac analysis in specific heart conditions including pregnancy, stress tests, right heart failure, left heart failure, along with congenital heart disease in children and adults, and pulmonary hypertension. In addition, our sales team will be delivering several presentations to pediatric cardiologists across North America and Europe on the VMS+ products.
