One American dies every 40 seconds of cardiovascular disease. Diabetic patients have a 2-4 times higher death rate and 68% of people with diabetes over the age of 65 will die from heart disease even if their glucose is well managed. By 2030, the total projected economic burden and direct costs of cardiovascular disease in the U.S. is estimated at $918B annually. We hope you will attend the event to hear from world leading experts on the latest technologies of how this grievous disease burden is being addressed.
Resverlogix Corp. (TSE:RVX) is a leading biotechnology company developing novel drugs for the treatment of high-risk cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease via ‘epigenetics’ - modifications of gene expression without altering DNA sequence. Their lead drug candidate apabetalone (RVX-208) is currently in a Phase 3 clinical trial ‘BETonMACE’ for high-risk cardiovascular disease patients with T2 diabetes mellitus to reduce the incidence of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) in this sick patient group. 15% of patients will also have renal disease. MACE in the BETonMACE study is defined as cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or stroke.
