Poster presented at the HBA conference - Minneapolis 13-14 April 2011

Greetings from Minneapolis. Just presented the poster this morning. See above. There were lots of questions about the use of the Actiheart in the field and about the details of the training component. Good fedback received as well. The conference is in full swing and we are all enjoying it a lot.
