JACC-HF Study Compares Daxor’s BVA-100® Volume Metric to CardioMEMS® Pressure Metric in Heart Failure Patients
Volume and Pressure Measures are Complementary, Not Interchangeable
Oak Ridge, TN, July 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Daxor Corporation (NASDAQ: DXR), the global leader in blood volume measurement technology, today announces a new research letter in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology – Heart Failure validating the benefits of the Company’s BVA-100 diagnostic in optimizing individualized therapy for heart failure patients.
The study, titled “Discordant Pressure-Volume Trends During CardioMEMS Monitoring,” evaluated the correlation of pressure-volume profiles over two time periods in a series of 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 reported statistically insignificant correlation between the two diagnostics and 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 the surrogate of pressure measures to guide HF volume treatments. This study adds to the significant body of evidence that pressure measurements are poorly correlated substitutes for direct measurement of circulating volume and that both metrics add complimentary but different clinical data to improve the care of patients. Daxor’s BVA test provides clinicians with 98% accurate volume measurement to inform volume care, enabling substantial improvements in mortality, hospital readmission, hospital length of stay, and costs as demonstrated in prior studies,” said Michael Feldschuh, CEO and President of Daxor Corporation.
