Oscar Gruss & Son Inc./Gargiulo Group Division Initiates Coverage with
BUY on Vasomedical, Inc.
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 10, 1997--Oscar Gruss & Son Incorporated/Gargiulo Group Division initiates research coverage of Vasomedical, Inc., Westbury, NY, with a BUY recommendation. NASDAQ: (VASO) Alan Tuchman, M.D., equity analyst at the Gargiulo Group Division, believes the company's commercialization of EECP(R), a microprocessor-based medical device for the non-invasive, atraumatic treatment of patients with coronary artery disease may offer an alternative treatment to many heart disease patients. The company is currently focusing its efforts on one of its FDA-approved indications, the treatment of stable angina. Dr. Tuchman feels this new approach to angina and other cardiovascular problems makes EECP(R) an interesting, and potentially very remunerative, alternative to more invasive procedures. A multicenter, double-blind study of the use of EECP(R) is to be presented November 11, 1997, at the American Heart Association annual scientific sessions in Orlando, Florida. Dr. Tuchman gives details on Vasomedical, Inc., in a research report that can be obtained for a fee from the Gargiulo Group Division at (212) 952-1220.
