Breakthrough Cardiac Diagnostic device reduces wait-times and backlog

Breakthrough Cardiac Diagnostic device reduces wait-times and backlog

As we cautiously emerge from the grips of the pandemic, so too heart disease is re-emerging as the leading cause of disease burden in England. Numerous studies and research articles bear witness to what will undoubtedly be COVID-19’s ongoing legacy, an increase in heart disease of epidemic proportion, to regain the crown as the #1...
