VasoMedical to Exhibit EECP® Therapy at the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Annual Meeting |
EECP® Therapy to make impact at premier healthcare event for the cardiopulmonary rehabilitation community
Septemeber 18, 2013 - WESTBURY, N.Y. - VasoMedical, Inc. (“VasoMedical”) (OTC BB: VASO), a diversified medical technology company specializing in the design, manufacture and sale of medical devices for noninvasive cardiology including EECP® Therapy systems, the gold standard of ECP therapy, announced today that the Company will participate and exhibit at the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Annual Meeting (AACVPR) from October 3-5, 2013 in Nashville, Tenn.
The 28th edition of AACVPR will be held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. Throughout the course of three days nearly 1,000 physicians, cardiovascular and pulmonary nurses, exercise physiologists, respiratory and physical therapists, behavioral scientists, registered dietitians, instructors and students and other allied health professionals involved in the day-to-day care of cardiovascular and/or pulmonary rehabilitation patients will take part in the Annual Meeting. During the AACVPR meeting, members of the cardiopulmonary community will be able to connect, share best practices and learn about the latest developments and trends in the industry.
“AACVPR is the premier healthcare event for the cardiopulmonary rehabilitation community and it provides an excellent opportunity for VasoMedical to share pertinent clinical information which supports the beneficial relationship between EECP® Therapy and Cardiac Rehabilitation for this specialized community of healthcare professionals from across the country,” said Larry Liebman, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at VasoMedical.
Liebman continued, “EECP® Therapy is a leading, FDA cleared noninvasive and outpatient treatment for patients experiencing angina or angina-like symptoms, which to date, has been severely underutilized as a treatment option. This is very similar to the underutilization of Cardiac Rehabilitation programs. We hope that spreading the word about the benefits of EECP® Therapy – from consistent improvement in patients' health to significant savings and reduced hospitalizations – will really get AACVPR attendees excited about how the use of EECP® Therapy can help generate more patients for their programs and reduce healthcare costs.”
VasoMedical will be located at Booth 630.
