February 06, 2010 - It was announced today, that BAC Medical Marketing has signed an agreement with Gene Smart Wellness to nationally market their Omega-3 Index Blood Test, designed to measure a patient's heart health, as it is a stronger predictor of heart disease risk than cholesterol testing now being used.
When interviewed about the importance of today's signing, Bruce A. Cadkin, Founder & President of BAC Medical Marketing, said, "The Omega-3 Index is the new measure of heart health. It may be the most important number any individual will ever know. The Omega-3 Index is a stronger predictor of heart disease risk than cholesterol. Individuals with a high Index have a decrease in the relative risk for sudden cardiac death by as much as 90%"
Mr. Cadkin went on to say, "Now physicians can check patients' Omega scores with this convenient Omega-3 blood test kit which includes two important measures of Omega-3s in your blood, Omega-3 Index and Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio, an important factor associated with chronic, whole body inflammation. Knowing patients' Omega levels can help physicians proactively make changes to their patients' diet to reduce their risk of heart disease and other conditions associated with chronic inflammation."
Mr. Cadkin concluded by saying, "Taking the Omega-3 blood test is easy. Simply follow the instructions in the convenient test kit to collect a drop of blood and return a patient's blood sample in the enclosed return envelope. Within about two weeks, the physician will receive that patient's lab results by mail along with a customized report, explanation of results and resources to help that patient make and sustain changes to their diet that will positively impact their Omega scores."
BAC Medical Marketing provides marketing solutions for solo physicians, group practices, clinics, long-term care facilities, concierge medical practices and networks, hospitals and health systems nationwide. BAC Medical Marketing also markets a number of products to the above mentioned entities, like the Henry Schein EMR, the CardioSuite complete fully integrated PC-based Resting ECG, Stress ECG and Holter PC cardiology system, and now the Gene Smart Omega-3 Index Blood Test.
