Prescient Medical Inc. announced that CEO Patricia Scheller, appeared on FOX Business Network (FBN) to discuss the company’s groundbreaking products and recent achievement of CE Mark approval for their vProtect(TM) Luminal Shield Stent System.

It is estimated that the costs associated with treating heart attacks in the US are over US$80 billion per year, or approximately US$54,000 per patient, according to 2007 statistics. In addition to the significant financial expenses, the societal and personal costs of the disease are also substantial. “Our goal at Prescient is to ultimately provide the world’s first products to stop heart attacks before they happen,” she continued.
Ms. Scheller was featured on the “C-Suite Sit-Down” segment on Monday, August 24, 2009, broadcast at 6:40 AM (EDT) in the United States.
Prescient Medical was founded to commercialize a pioneering suite of diagnostic technologies and protective solutions for people with cardiovascular disease. The Company’s mission is to reduce morbidity and mortality from heart attacks. Prescient’s product portfolio includes catheter-based devices that will allow interventional cardiologists to more precisely tailor focal treatment according to the unique needs of each patient.
