CAESAREA, Israel, Nov. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Enopace Selected as 2017's Top Medical Innovation Company by World Leading Cardiologists and Industry Professionals at TCT in Colorado   

Enopace Biomedical, developer of minimally invasive, implantable endovascular neuromodulation therapies for heart failure patients, announced today that it has been voted the 2017 # 1 Medical Innovation company by world leading cardiologists and industry professionals in the annual Shark Tank Innovation Competition. The voting took place at the Transcatheter Interventional Therapeutics (TCT) Congress held 29th October to 2nd November in Denver, Colorado.  The TCT Congress is the world's largest, and most important educational conference in interventional cardiovascular medicine and showcases the latest advances in current therapies and clinical research.

With more than 20 million patients in Europe and in the United States, heart failure is associated with tremendously high healthcare costs and remains the largest unmet clinical need in the cardiovascular world. Enopace, founded by Rainbow Medical, has developed an endovascular neuromodulation technology that increases cardiac efficiency by reducing the workload on the heart, thereby treating patients who suffer from congestive heart failure (CHF).

Out of 60 companies reviewed by TCT conference attendees, 8 were selected to present their technologies in a showcase and 3 were selected as finalists.  The 3 finalists underwent two days of presentations and Q&A sessions attended by a panel of leading cardiologists and industry professionals, and Enopace emerged with the title of # 1 medical innovation for 2017. 

"After a gruelling review process, we were thrilled to be honoured with this prestigious accolade," said Amir Dagan, CEO of Enopace. "This is a validation of our unique, innovative approach for the treatment of Congestive Heart Failure patients."
