New Study Confirms Daxor’s BVA-100® Volume Metric Compared to CardioMEMS® Pressure Metric Has Unique Clinical Utility as a Diagnostic for Heart Failure Patients
Daxor Corporation (NYSE: DXR) presented new data on its BVA-100 diagnostic at the Technology Heart Failure Therapeutics Conference, showcasing its role in enhancing therapy for heart failure patients. A study indicated that less than half of patients displayed concordant pressure-volume changes during CardioMEMS monitoring, suggesting reliance on pressure alone may be inadequate for guiding heart failure management. This underscores the value of BVA-100 in accurately assessing blood volume, which has been linked to improved patient outcomes including reduced mortality and hospital readmissions. Daxor aims to revolutionize heart failure treatment through precise blood volume analysis.
- BVA-100 diagnostic shows potential in optimizing heart failure therapy.
- Study indicates inadequacy of pressure alone for managing heart failure.
- BVA testing linked to improved patient outcomes and reduced hospital readmissions.
- Less than half of patients had concordant pressure-volume changes, questioning current monitoring practices.
Commonly Used Pressure Measure for Volume Assessment Discordant with Direct Measurement by BVA
Oak Ridge, TN, March 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Daxor Corporation (NYSE: DXR), the global leader in blood volume measurement technology, today announces new data validating the benefits of the Company’s BVA-100 diagnostic in optimizing individualized therapy for heart failure patients. Data were presented at the Technology Heart Failure Therapeutics Conference, which focuses on device and technology-based treatments in heart failure. The conference was held March 20-22, 2023 in Boston, Mass.
The study, titled “Persistent Pressure-Volume Dissociation During CardioMEMS Monitoring,” compared volume and pressure in heart failure (HF) patients who underwent CardioMEMS implantation to measure pressure, and direct measurement of total blood volume using Daxor’s blood volume analysis (BVA) diagnostic. Veraprapas Kittipibul M.D., lead investigator of the study concluded, “Less than half of patients had concordant pressure-volume changes during CardioMEMS monitoring. Universal volume-directed interventions (i.e. diuretics) in HF patients with high pressures might not be appropriate and should be discouraged.”
“Clinicians often rely on pressure monitoring alone to guide HF management by utilizing pressure measures as surrogates of volume status. This study confirms the significant body of evidence that pressure measurements are not adequate substitutes for direct measurements of circulating volume and that both metrics add valuable but different clinical data for the management of patients. Our BVA test informs clinicians with precise information to help manage and treat volume derangements in complex HF patients, enabling substantial improvements in mortality reduction, hospital readmission, hospital length of stay, and costs as demonstrated in previous studies,” said Michael Feldschuh, CEO and President of Daxor Corporation.
