Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. Engages OfferBoard Securities for Capital Raise to Bring Next Gen EKG to Market
Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) October 07, 2015 -- Heart Test Labs mission is to provide accurate, affordable screening tools for the early detection of heart disease, and the MyoVista is the culmination of over 15 years of R&D and $15MM invested to date. OfferBoard Securities, a national investment bank and broker-dealer, will assist Heart Test Labs with raising $2 million in order to fund inventory, working capital and support selling the MyoVista by early 2016.
“Heart disease is common and deadly but treatable if detected early. Unfortunately we still live in a world where most people find out about their condition through a heart attack or worse death” said Heart Test Labs Chairman Andrew Simpson. “While cardiologists have the tools for effective treatment of heart disease,” continued Simpson, “the big diagnostic gap is identifying at an early stage who should seek treatment. This is where the MyoVista comes into play.”
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of deaths worldwide accounting for 17.3 million deaths/yr more then all cancers combined; and the largest expenditure in healthcare exceeding $320 billion/yr according to the American Heart Association 2015 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Update. Heart Test Labs developed the MyoVista to address this epidemic and enable low cost and effective screening of heart disease at an early stage using propriety technology and informatics.
“As someone whose family has been personally affected by heart disease, I am excited for the opportunity to work with Heart Test Labs in their efforts to bring the MyoVista to market” said David Lopez, Managing Director for OfferBoard. “Given the vast number of people affected by this condition, I am confident investors will relate and appreciate the possibility of the MyoVista becoming the standard of care in screening for heart disease in the near future.”
Positioned at the forefront of technology advancement in electrocardiography-based devices, the MyoVista uses sophisticated algorithms and easy to understand proprietary informatics to assist a physician to identify heart disease at an early stage. The MyoVista is expected to be in the hands of physicians and hospitals by the first quarter of 2016.
