WESTBURY, N.Y. – March 10, 2015 – VasoMedical, Inc. (VASO.OTC), a diversified medical technology company specializing in the design, manufacture and sale of non-invasive medical devices, including EECP® Therapy systems, the gold standard of external counterpulsation technology, today announced its participation in the American College of Cardiology's 64th Annual Scientific Session & Expo (ACC.15) on March 14-16, 2015 in San Diego, California. This will be the 20th consecutive year that VasoMedical has participated in this major cardiovascular event.
The ACC's Scientific Session & Expo is an annual meeting in which members of the ACC and medical professionals, both domestic and international, come together to share and discuss the latest developments in cardiovascular medicine. The ACC meeting this year will have over 13,000 professional attendees participating and more than 300 exhibitors signing up to exhibit at the three day conference. The main focus of ACC.15 is innovations in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
VasoMedical will be exhibiting in booth #3733 in the San Diego Convention Center. The Company will be conducting demonstrations of its core technology, EECP® Therapy, its BIOXTM ambulatory patient monitoring products as well as the MobiCareTM Wireless patient monitoring system.
“As the largest congregation of cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and other cardiovascular healthcare professionals in the united States, the American College of Cardiology's annual scientific session represents an opportunity for VasoMedical to demonstrate its focus on innovation and its capabilities in product design to meet the clinical and economic challenges in healthcare today,” said Jun Ma, President and CEO at VasoMedical.
In addition, an abstract entitled “Patients that Respond to Enhanced External Counterpulsation Are at Decreased Risk for Major Adverse Cardiac Events And Have Increases in Endothelial Precursor Stem Cells” has been accepted for poster presentation (#1228-364) at the ACC.15 on Sunday, March 15, 2015 at 3:45 PM in Poster Hall B1. Dr. Joseph Tartaglia, the lead author of the abstract, was one of the first cardiologists to offer EECP® Therapy in the U.S.
Dr. Tartaglia stated, “EECP therapy has been demonstrated in the medical literatures to produce excellent outcomes in treating stable ischemic angina patients who are refractory to invasive procedures and medication.” He further commented, “our study sought to shed light on the question of whether the effect is purely from exercise training and if improvements in exercise capacity lead to permanent positive outcomes.”
