(Nasdaq: MIST) today announced that results from a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 etripamil study will be presented at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2023. Selected for a Featured Science Presentation, the ReVeRA study evaluated etripamil in emergency department patients with atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate (AFib-RVR). The presentation will take place at the AHA Scientific Sessions in Philadelphia, PA and virtually from November 11-13, 2023.\n\n\"Current AFib-RVR treatment goals include quickly resolving the discomfort and disruption of episodes of rapid heart rate. We're optimistic that the data will demonstrate etripamil's potential to meet this goal for patients who have limited options to self-manage their disease,\" said David Bharucha, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.C., Chief Medical Officer of Milestone Pharmaceuticals. \"This is an important step in understanding the potential clinical utility of etripamil in indications beyond our lead program in paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.\"\nThe Feature Science presentation details are:\nSession Title: Featured Science: Innovations in EP CareSession number: FS.01Presenter: A.
