Abbott has been investing in structural heart products and recently entered the left atrial appendage closure market.
Early results from an investigational clinical trial on the Tendyne transcatheter mitral valve were favorable. If the pivotal trial results are favorable, this could give a boost to Abbott's structural heart unit.
Abbott's sale of its established pharma business in developed markets to Mylan and its acquisition of CFR and Veropharm have put the branded generics business in a strong position to benefit from growing demand in emerging markets.
