Company Summary

Setting a new standard of heart attack treatment, NirvaMed is introducing a novel patent-pending technology that prevents tissue inflammation caused by sudden return of blood flow after opening the blocked artery, and improves oxygen supply and microcirculation blood flow to the damaged heart muscle. These are unsolved problems of the current heart attack treatment that cause heart failure in 1 of 4 and kill 1 of 10 massive heart attack patients.
