Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 4, 2021) - Hemostemix Inc. (TSXV: HEM) (OTC: HMTXF) ("Hemostemix" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the second in its series of video interviews with ACP-01 recipients taped during August of 2021. With more than 300 patients treated compassionately with ACP-01 for ischemic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, vascular dementia, COPD, and pulmonary hypertension, in this one-minute segment Peter recounts how his chest pain dissipated one week after his stem cell treatment, and he recounts how he felt like his life was back to normal after six weeks. Interested parties are directed to the Video and ACP Testimonials section of the Company's website (https://hemostemix.com/acp-testimonials/).
"It is interesting to listen to Peter following his treatment, compare the study results published about ACP and Mavacamten with respect to dilated cardiomyopathy, and then compare the market capitalization of Hemostemix ($11.5 Million) to the $13.1 Billion takeover of Myokardia by Bristol Myers Squibb because both therapeutics resulted in an improvement in ejection fraction, both therapeutics resulted in a significant improvement in NYHA functional class and the ACP group measured a 36% improvement in walking capacity in 6 minutes," stated Thomas Smeenk, CEO.
The late Dr. Kit Arom, a co-founder of the Minnesota Heart Institute, published the following results of his study of the safety and efficacy of thoracoscopic direct injection of angiogenic cell precursors (ACP) in patients with end stage dilated cardiomyopathy: "Forty-one patients with cardiomyopathy (mean age, 58.5 ± 14.3 years) underwent ACP stem cell injection, including 21 with dilated cardiomyopathy and 20 with ischemic cardiomyopathy…All patients tolerated cardiac rehabilitation very well…The 6-minute walk tests showed an improvement of nearly [36%], 126 meters in walking capacity (from 343.3 to 469.4 meters, n = 9, at 90 days)…At a mean of 180 days after the injection, NYHA functional class improved from 2.69 ± 0.79 preoperatively to 1.63 ± 0.81 in the Dilated Cardiomyopathy group (n=16, p<0.05)…Ejection fraction improved by 2.8 ± 9.1 percentage points (from 25.9% ± 8.6% to 28.7% ± 9.8%) at 135 ± 88 days in the Dilated Cardiomyopathy group (n = 15, p = 0.3)."
