DUBLIN-(Business Wire)-September 24, 2009 - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a31981/whos_developing_w) has announced the addition of the "Who's Developing What in Cardiovascular Devices?" report to their offering.

The recession has caused many companies to reconsider their corporate strategy and research outlook. With the financial crisis, expansion through acquisition has no longer been possible and companies have been forced to plan for organic growth based on product efficiency, innovation, service and price.

The new expanded edition provides comprehensive analysis of 60 leading players in the global cardiovascular device industry.
