i respond to the lies with facts!
The rampers on this thread have been scandalously saying that HTW has not done animal trials. I have said it was a lie intended to damage HTW. If I was in VCR I would sell. I am short VCR and using the substantial profits to buy HTW. I am on the bid right now. Here is the truth from published research about HTW and the animal trialling of the product:
"HeartWare is focussed on the rapid advancement of its lead product, the HeartWare Ventricular Assist Device (HVAD), to clinical trials and regulatory approval. To date, HeartWare has undertaken a series of preclinical trials using the HVAD in vitro and in animals. This includes testing of the HVAD in sheep to evaluate pump design and mechanics as well as to assess the long term compatibility with the blood. Sheep are considered reasonable models for testing LVADs owing to their anatomical similarities to humans in the cardiovascular area. Researchers have confidence that the sheep model provides data with good predictive values for preclinical evaluation of these lifesaving devices. HeartWare has commenced its Good Laboratory Practice requirements and should complete these in 2005 prior to implanting their first human patient in early 2006."
