Access & Reimbursement Manager (ARM) – NPS CV – Austin - Remote
For six decades, we’ve been working to advance cardiovascular health by transforming the standard of care and bringing innovation to areas of high unmet need.
CVD is the #1 cause of death worldwide. In fact, CVD is responsible for more deaths than all cancers combined. Evidence suggests the pandemic led to the worsening of CV outcomes. This burden is likely to escalate and overwhelm society if we do not make significant changes to curtail the rising incidence. ASCVD accounts for 85% of CVD deaths and addressing key risk factors – such as elevated LDL-C and Lp(a) – can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
