SINKING
SPRING, Pa.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--March 31, 2006
Rheologics Technologies,
Inc. (OTC:RTGI; "Rheologics",
"the Company"),
the leader in the study
of blood viscosity and
its relationship to vascular
disease, is pleased to
announce that Dr. Ralph
Holsworth and President
Daniel J. Cho will be
interviewed this Sunday
April 2nd at 4:00 pm EST
in a follow-up interview
on "The Heart Show
with Dr. Vagnini"
in New York City. The
show will be broadcast
on radio station WOR RADIO
710 AM in the New York
metropolitan area and
may be listened to over
the world wide web under
the "Special Weekend"
link at www.wor710.com.
On the
March 26, 2006 broadcast,
Dr. Vagnini spoke with
Rheologics' Director of
Scientific Research Dr.
Kenneth R. Kensey and
Dan Cho about the company's
signature device, the
Rheolog(TM), which is
the first clinical blood
viscometry device of its
kind. The Rheolog(TM)
is a Scanning Capillary
Tube Viscometer enabling
clinicians and researchers
to obtain a complete and
accurate whole blood viscosity
profile in real-time at
the point of care or in
the laboratory. Dr. Ralph
Holsworth and Dan Cho
will be following up last
week's overview of the
potential clinical and
practical applications
of the Rheolog(TM) with
a discussion of a new
therapeutic compound,
called RheoGen(TM).
Dr.
Holsworth, who serves
on the Rheologics management
team as Executive Vice
President of Pharmaceuticals
and is recognized as the
leading authority in enzyme-related
therapeutic compounds
in the U.S., states: "Dr.
Vagnini is one of a kind.
He transformed his New
York City medical practice
from cardiovascular surgery
to cardiovascular prevention
and nutrition. I am looking
forward to appearing on
his program and discussing
the significant developments
that Rheologics has made
in the field of vascular
disease prevention and
treatment."
Dan
Cho, President of Rheologics,
added, "Dr. Vagnini
is much more than a charismatic
media personality. He
is a true physician --
genuinely interested in
helping people beat vascular
disease and improving
the quality of their lives,
and he is quickly becoming
an expert on whole blood
viscosity, which we believe
is tied to the ultimate
cause of heart disease."
