Biochemical
Markers for the Early Detection of
Atherosclerosis (BioMEDA)
is a research program
dedicated to investigating emerging biochemical
markers and their roles in detecting early stages
of atherosclerosis, otherwise undetected by
traditional diagnostic methods. BioMEDA's
current studies include C-Reactive Protein,
Homocysteine, and Lipoprotein(a). Tests for these
biochemicals provide
patients and physicians with detailed information
needed for early heart disease detection, better
prevention, and more personalized treatments. Our
unique, patented blood testing technology has
established us as the market leader in heart
disease risk analysis and coronary artery disease
management.
BioMEDA
was established in 1999 by the Cedars-Sinai
Cardiac Imaging Research group in Los Angeles,
California and is supported by various private
foundations and individual benefactors.
