NATICK, Massachusetts, September 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --

- L'analisi dei risultati a otto anni dello studio MADIT II mostra che viene salvata una vita per ogni otto pazienti che ricevono un ICD.

Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) è lieta di annunciare la pubblicazione nell'ultimo numero di Circulation, di un'analisi dei dati a lungo termine svolta nell'ambito dello studio clinico MADIT-II. L'analisi dimostra che i benefici salva-vita apportati dalla terapia con defibrillatore cardioverter impiantabile (ICD) permangono per almeno 8 anni. Questa è la prima volta che i dati a lungo termine sui benefici degli ICD, in una popolazione in prevenzione primaria,vengono pubblicati in una rivista referenziata.

L'analisi mostra un miglioramento sulla mortalità nel tempo; ovvero:

- A otto anni, viene salvata una vita ogni otto pazienti cui viene impiantato un ICD. Questo rappresenta un miglioramento significativo rispetto ai dati a due anni dello studio MADIT-II, i quali indicavano che veniva salvata una vita ogni 17 pazienti.

- A otto anni, una riduzione relativa del 34 percento del rischio di morte in pazienti trattati con ICD (p<0,001, non rettificato).

Il Dottor Arthur J. Moss, professore di Medicina presso la University of Rochester Medical Center e Investigatore Principale degli studi MADIT, MADIT II e MADIT-CRT, ha affermato che: "la terapia con ICD si è dimostrata efficace nei pazienti a rischio di morte cardiaca improvvisa ed ora i dati a lungo termine dello studio MADIT II mostrano che i benefici, in termini di vite salvate con l'utilizzo di questi dispositivi, aumentano nel tempo".

Lo studio MADIT II, sponsorizzato esclusivamente da Boston Scientific, era stato ideato al fine di determinare se gli ICD migliorassero la sopravvivenza, rispetto alla sola terapia farmacologica, in pazienti sopravvissuti ad attacco cardiaco con danno moderato al ventricolo sinistro, la principale camera di pompaggio del cuore.

Boston Scientific è un'azienda operante a livello mondiale che si occupa di sviluppare, produrre e commercializzare dispositivi medicali, i cui prodotti sono utilizzati in un'ampia gamma di specialità mediche del settore interventistico.

Affermazione Cautelativa Relativa alle Affermazioni Riferite al Futuro

Questo comunicato stampa contiene affermazioni riferite al futuro come stabilito dalla Sezione 21E del Securities Exchange Act del 1933 e Sezione 21E del Securities Exchange Act del 1934. Le affermazioni riferite al futuro possono essere identificate da termini come "anticipare", "prevedere", "proiettare", "ritenere", "programmare", "stimare", "intendere" e termini simili. Queste affermazioni riferite al futuro si basano sulle convinzioni, supposizioni e stime da noi effettuate sulla base delle informazioni a nostra disposizione in quel determinato momento e non intendono fornire garanzie di eventi o prestazioni future. Queste affermazioni riferite al futuro includono, tra le altre cose, affermazioni relative a studi clinici, approvazione da parte degli organi regolatori, performance dei prodotti, offerte competitive e posizione aziendale nel settore di riferimento. Se le nostre supposizioni si rivelassero errate, o se determinati rischi o imprevisti si materializzassero, i risultati effettivi potrebbero differire dalle aspettative o dalle proiezioni espresse o sottintese dalle nelle nostre affermazioni riferite al futuro. In alcune circostanze, questi fattori hanno inficiato in passato e potrebbero inficiare in futuro (insieme ad altri fattori) la nostra capacità di mettere in atto la nostra strategia commerciale e ciò potrebbe risultare in una discrepanza tra i risultati effettivi e quelli contemplati nelle affermazioni presentate in questo comunicato stampa. Di conseguenza, i lettori sono invitati a non fare eccessivo affidamento su alcuna delle nostre affermazioni riferite al futuro.

Tra i fattori che potrebbero provocare tali discrepanze vi sono: condizioni future correlate alla situazione economica, ai concorrenti, alla rimborsabilità e allo status regolatorio; introduzioni di nuovi prodotti; trend demografici; diritti di proprietà intellettuale; contenzioso; condizioni del mercato finanziario; future decisioni commerciali prese da noi - dai nostri concorrenti. Tutti questi fattori sono difficili o impossibili da prevedere accuratamente e molti di essi sono al di là del nostro controllo. For a further list and description of these and other important risks and uncertainties that may affect our future operations, see Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we may update in Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q we have filed or will file hereafter. Neghiamo ogni intenzione o obbligo di aggiornare pubblicamente o modificare le nostre affermazioni riferite al futuro per riflettere eventuali cambiamenti delle nostre aspettative o degli eventi, delle situazioni o delle circostanze su cui potrebbero basarsi tali aspettative o che potrebbero influire sulla probabilità che i risultati effettivi differiscano da quelli espressi nelle affermazioni riferite al futuro. Questa affermazione cautelativa è applicabile a tutte le affermazioni riferite al futuro contenute nel presente documento.
