Daxor Announces Duke University Study on Blood Volume Analysis in Heart Failure Published in American Heart Journal

Industry News In The News

Oak Ridge, TN – May 14, 2025 — Daxor Corporation (Nasdaq: DXR), Daxor Corporation, the global leader in blood volume measurement technology, today announces significant new findings from Duke University Medical Center published in the prestigious American Heart Journal. The research demonstrates how Blood Volume Analysis (BVA) enables precise measurement of red blood cell mass (RBCM) and effectively differentiates between true and dilutional anemia in heart failure (HF) patients.  

The detection of true anemia and its management is a key part of Heart Failure Guidelines published by cardiovascular societies, including the American College of Cardiology and the Heart Failure Society of America, but standard blood panels of hematocrit and hemoglobin levels are not sensitive or specific to enable care for this key objective.

The study, titled, “Relationship of Red Blood Cell Mass Profiles and Anemia Type to Outcomes and Cardiopulmonary Exercise Performance in Chronic Heart Failure,” highlights the connections between RBCM profiles using BVA, different anemia types, heart failure outcomes, and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) parameters.
