BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CorVista Health, Inc., a leading digital health company dedicated to improving cardiovascular disease diagnosis, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Advanced Telecommunications Solutions and Services (ATSS) to explore the potential of introducing the CorVista® System into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The CorVista System is the world’s first point-of-care system for evaluating the presence of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in a single visit.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of death globally, creating a growing healthcare burden in developed and emerging markets. These conditions, including CAD, account for over 45% of all deaths in Saudi Arabia. By 2035, the economic burden of CVD within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is estimated to triple to more than $9.8 billion annually.1
“Collaborating with ATSS represents an opportunity to improve the standard of cardiovascular diagnostics in Saudi Arabia by generating reliable, actionable results faster than conventional tests and empowering cardiologists and pulmonologists to choose the right treatment path for their symptomatic patients at the initial examination, avoiding delay and invasive procedures,” said Don Crawford, President, and Chief Executive Officer of CorVista Health. “This collaboration is part of CorVista Health’s efforts to expand global reach and support the growing need for innovative cardiovascular diagnostics in one of the world’s most dynamic healthcare markets.”
Eng. Abdullah Alosaimi, CEO of ATSS commented, “We are look forward to partnering with CorVista Health to bring the CorVista® System to Saudi Arabia.

This vision aligns with our commitment to bring the highest standard of healthcare to Saudi citizens and residents of Saudi Arabia. Through innovative collaborations such as our partnership with CorVista Health, we aim to deliver state-of-the-art cardiovascular diagnostics to the Kingdom, empowering healthcare professionals and improving patient outcomes across the region.”
