"The World Health Organization predicts the current decade will likely see greater than 60 percent of the world's cardiac patients originating from South Asia," notes Mr John Butterfield, vice president, business development for Critical Diagnostics in Asia Pacific. "Represented by our local partners, Critical Diagnostics is understandably confident that the Presage ST2 assay will contribute to providing better treatment management tools to health professionals and better outcomes for cardiac disease patients for many years to come."

"We are very excited about the response we've had from potential international partners, not only in Asia Pacific, but in other regions of the world, too," states Mr James Snider, president, Critical Diagnostics. "We expect to make more announcements shortly about further expansion plans in these areas, as well as in the US."
