Community Hospital Purchases BVA Analyzer With Focus on Improving Outpatient Heart Failure Care
Oak Ridge, TN, Aug. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Daxor Corporation (Nasdaq: DXR), the global leader in blood volume measurement technology, announces the expansion of its blood volume analysis (BVA) technology through the acquisition of the BVA analyzer. This advancement not only enhances revenue streams, but also sets the stage for projected accelerated sales growth for the rest of the year.
A rural 339-bed community hospital in northwest Mississippi, part of the Mid-South's largest integrated delivery network, has acquired a BVA analyzer for outpatient heart failure care. This acquisition is critical for enhancing patient outcomes in a region where access to specialized care can be limited. In 2021, the United States recorded 173.8 heart disease deaths per 100,000 people, while Mississippi saw a notably higher rate of 324.4 deaths per 100,000. As a result, many hospitals in affected regions are seeking to enhance the quality of care by incorporating BVA testing.
“Outpatient heart failure care is essential for proactive management, early intervention, and continuous monitoring, which are key to preventing hospitalizations, improving patient outcomes, and reducing healthcare costs," said Michael Feldschuh, Daxor’s CEO and President. “Our BVA diagnostic provides 98% accurate actionable data to guide fluid management decisions, enabling providers to create personalized care plans – helping patients effectively manage this chronic condition while maintaining their quality of life."
