News Release
July 5, 2011 Vasomedical To Participate in the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress in Paris, France on August 27-30, 2011 In support of our goal to improve the level of non-invasive healthcare products globally, Vasomedical will participate in the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2011 in Paris, France on August 27 – August 30, 2011, in booth #A300. The ESC Congress is currently the world’s premier conference on the science, management and prevention of cardiovascular disease. ![]() Vasomedical will feature its full line of products at the ESC, including the company’s unique core technology, Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP®) therapy. The company will conduct live demonstrations of its therapy systems on its 4th generation model, the Lumenair™ EECP® therapy system. The Lumenair™ incorporates the clinically proven performance of EECP® technology in a sleek, all-in-one system and combines it with patient safety, patient comfort and ease of use. Vasomedical EECP® Therapy systems are the only non-invasive external counterpulsation therapy devices proven safe and effective in the treatment of angina and heart failure in clinical trials published in peer reviewed medical journals. There are currently over 150 published articles in medical literature on EECP® therapy. “With its different mechanisms of action, EECP® therapy does not target the lesions that cause the symptoms in coronary artery disease (CAD), it targets the disease itself. Therefore, EECP® therapy does not replace the invasive revascularization techniques, but compliments them by offering a safe and effective treatment for CAD.” states Dr. Ozlem Soran, Associate Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology/Research at the UPMC Health System in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who as an invited speaker will present as part of the scientific sessions at the ESC on August 29, 2011 on the subject of Enhanced External Counterpulsation Therapy as part of the symposium entitled The Challenge of Refractory Angina. The symposium chaired by Drs. Lanza (IT) and Manheimer (SE) is scheduled for 14:00 in Athens – Zone F. In addition, Dr. Soran will present as lead author (Soran, Kennard and Kelsey), an accepted abstract on EECP® Therapy from the International EECP® Patient Registry entitled A Comparison of Six Months Clinical Outcomes of Patients in the United States and Europe Undergoing Enhanced External Counterpulsation Therapy for Refractory Angina with Left Ventricular Dysfunction. To further complement our non-invasive cardiology product offerings, Vasomedical will feature in its exhibit the complete line of BIOX™ ECG Holter and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) products along with the EZ™ Patient Management Products. Of particular interest are the recently FDA cleared, extremely lightweight, LCD display BIOX™ Model 1303 ECG Recorder, Model 1304 12-Channel ECG Recorder and its unique combined ECG and ABPM Recorders, the Model 2301 Combined 3-Channel and Model 2302 12-Channel recorders respectively. The Model 2301 and Model 2302 are the only U.S. FDA cleared, combined ECG and ABPM monitoring devices of their type in the world today. For those looking for an Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor alone, the BIOX™ Model 1805 features our exclusive proprietary technology enabling the physician to record static pressure values as well as a pressure oscillation waveform and transfer the data to a PC. For those patients who require additional monitoring at home, Vasomedical EZ™ Patient Management products offer compact and portable hand held EZ ECG™ and Finger Pulse Oximetry products. Whether the need is short term reading or long term monitoring with computer interface and recoding capability, the Vasomedical Patient Management products help the physician extend accurate, low cost monitoring care outside the hospital and office to the home.
