The American College of Cardiology's (ACC) Annual Scientific Session is a yearly 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 health and treatment. Last year, this event attracted more than 13,000 healthcare professionals from across the globe, with more than 4,880 attendees visiting from outside the United States. The event aims to promote the innovative developments and successful practices that impact the delivery of quality care and the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Vasomedical will be located at booth S1649 in the South Hall of the Moscone Convention Center. The Company will be conducting demonstrations of its Lumenair EECP therapy system, as well as displaying its line of BIOX™ ECG Holter and Ambulatory Blood Pressure monitoring products along with other low cost patient management products.

"The world of cardiovascular care is constantly evolving, and at Vasomedical, we aim for our technology to be at the forefront of the non-invasive alternative treatment category.  We understand that the ACC continually reevaluates its guidelines and recommendations for the use of EECP Therapy, and as such, we look forward to sharing our progress and engaging in discussion with the medical community at the Annual Scientific Session," said Dr. Jun Ma, president and chief executive officer of Vasomedical, Inc. 

"The ACC and Vasomedical share the same underlying goal, which is to advance the education and development of cardiovascular care so patients are aware of all of their options and receive optimal treatment," Dr. Ma continued. "By showcasing the EECP technology at this event, we hope to raise awareness about the safety and successes of this therapy. As EECP Therapy has been demonstrated to enhance the lives of patients and also reduce future hospitalizations, it is a great option for those who are suffering from various heart conditions."
