GUARDaHEART, PULS Cardiac Test at ACC Scientific Sessions 2016The GUARDaHEART Foundation, a 501(c)(3) a nonprofit organization, invited the PULS Cardiac TestTM for heart disease, as well as Max International, LLC, to the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) 65th Annual Scientific Session in Chicago to help lead the pursuit of conquering heart disease.

The partnerships at the conference focused on education, detection and prevention at the Patient Engagement Pavilion, the ACC’s specialty area showcasing programs, tools, and resources that empower patients, clinicians, and caregivers to work together to achieve measurable improvements in cardiovascular outcomes.

The conference follows a recently published case study by the ACC, where a CCTA test confirmed an elevated risk of Acute Coronary Syndrome originally identified by the PULS Cardiac Test. The PULS Cardiac Test has received significant attention within the medical community as an effective diagnostic tool that allows physicians to identify patients with subclinical, asymptomatic heart disease, who may otherwise be unaware they are at risk of experiencing an acute cardiac event.

“GUARDaHEART and the PULS Cardiac Test fully support the ACC focus on primary prevention,” commented Dr. Douglas Harrington, CEO & Medical Director of GD Biosciences, the performing laboratory for the PULS Cardiac Test. “We have demonstrated that a model comprised of education, detection and prevention improves patient outcome and saves lives.”

A long time GUARDaHEART partner with them at the ACC event, Max International, is a company dedicated to delivering world-class products designed to support healthy and proactive lifestyles and promote preventive healthcare.

“Max International, LLC is pleased to be a partner with the GUARDaHEART non-profit foundation,” Said Scott Nagasawa, Pharm. D. of Max International, “It is becoming increasingly evident that our diets and living a healthy lifestyle are important for healthy aging.  By 2030, it is anticipated that 1 in 4 dollars spent will be on healthcare, and prevention must be a major component in reducing future healthcare costs.  I have always felt that we allocate too few dollars on prevention, and too much money is being spent for the treatment of preventable diseases.”

The American College of Cardiology’s annual event hosts some of the best and brightest as speakers and presenters, and allows people from across the industry to share new and exciting information in the field of Cardiology. GUARDaHEART, with partners Max International, and the PULS Cardiac Test, attended the patient pavilion showcasing clinical cases of improved patient outcome based on early, accurate detection.
