Sunshine Heart to Appear on Bloomberg Television's Taking Stock
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Feb. 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sunshine Heart, Inc. (Nasdaq:SSH) today announced that Chief Executive Officer, Dave Rosa, will be featured on Bloomberg Television's Taking Stock on Wednesday, February 5, 2014 at 5:00 pm EST. Hosted by Bloomberg anchor Pimm Fox, Taking Stock is a daily investment-focused program featuring conversations with leading Wall Street analysts, fund managers and CEOs, offering insight into company news, market and trading strategies across equities, fixed income, commodities, and currencies. Following the segment, a link to a recording of the program will be posted to the investor page of Sunshine Heart's website at: http://ir.sunshineheart.com.
The segment will focus on Sunshine Heart's C-Pulse Heart Assist System, an investigational device designed to treat clinical symptoms associated with Class III and ambulatory Class IV heart failure. The device is currently used in an ongoing U.S. randomized controlled clinical trial, COUNTER HF™; as well as in a post-market study throughout Europe, OPTIONS HF. Sunshine Heart received CE Mark certification for its C-Pulse device in the EU in July of 2012. The device can be implanted via a minimally invasive procedure or a full sternotomy. Operating outside the patient's bloodstream, the extra-aortic approach of C-Pulse offers significant potential safety advantages to existing therapies, as well as greater flexibility, allowing patients to have intervals of freedom to disconnect from the device. A fully implantable device is currently under development, with a chronic animal trial successfully completed with the device showing a comparable level of support to the first generation C-Pulse system.
As previously announced, Sunshine Heart plans to release its fourth quarter and full year 2013 audited results in early March of 2014
