## About AnaCardio

AnaCardio is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based in Solna, Sweden, focused on developing innovative treatments for heart failure.

Founded in 2017, the company emerged from research at Karolinska Institutet that revealed a unique mechanism to enhance heart muscle contractility. AnaCardio employs around 11 people and operates within the Healthcare & Life Sciences sector. The company's lead product, AC01, is a first-in-class oral medication designed to improve heart muscle function without causing common side effects associated with traditional therapies. AC01 is currently in Phase 1b/2a clinical development, targeting patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). AnaCardio aims to enhance cardiac output and quality of life for these patients while reducing hospitalization and mortality risks. The company has successfully raised over $35 million in funding, with significant backing from investors like Novo Holdings and Sound Bioventures.
