BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SomaLogic (NASDAQ: SLGC), a leader in AI data-driven proteomics technology, today announced findings from key studies demonstrating the broad and deep role proteomics plays in detecting cardiovascular risk, achieving optimal cardiometabolic health, and assessing the correlation of cardiovascular disease with other diseases that are among the leading causes of death around the world. SomaLogic and its research partners will present these studies at American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in Chicago on November 5-7, 2022.

“Proteomics is leading the conversation at AHA this year with more than 43 sessions on the topic. SomaLogic is proud to be at the forefront of these discussions by leading five oral and poster sessions that show the value of proteomics for the future of heart and overall health,” said SomaLogic Chief Medical Officer Stephen Williams, M.D., Ph.D. “Imagine a future where a healthcare provider is armed with insight into their patient’s current and future health outlook, all from one sample of blood. This future can become a reality when we couple proteomic tests with existing care plans in the clinical setting.”

SomaLogic invites AHA attendees to the following sessions:

“All of our studies highlighted at AHA –– in collaboration with our research partners –– show the breadth and depth of our proteomic assays and tests, which excel at providing a holistic view of patient health while exploring the connections between cardiovascular disease and multiple other therapeutic areas, including dementia, Type 2 diabetes, COVID-19 and more,” said Dr. Williams.

In addition to presentation sessions, SomaLogic will have a booth in the exhibit hall. AHA attendees can stop by booth #2114 to connect with SomaLogic presenters, researchers and scientists. Life science companies can discuss SomaLogic’s SomaScan^® Assay technology and its applications for heart disease research. Those in the healthcare industry can discuss SomaLogic’s SomaSignal™ test technology and applications for SomaLogic’s CVD test that can aid physicians in providing precision patient care.
