February 13th, 2010
Dr. Joseph T. Shen was recognized with the Women’s Heart Advocate
Award for his Leadership in Science and Medicine. "Dr. Shen’s invention
of the Multifunction CardioGram represents a major breakthrough in
cardiology" said Bonnie Arkus. "The test is quick, non-invasive, risk
free and has a high degree of reliability in both women and men in the
diagnosis of ischemic heart disease. By recognizing Dr. Shen, we hope
to raise awareness of ischemic heart disease and promote widespread use
of the Multifunction CardioGram to save more hearts and more lives."
MCG™ is the world’s first Internet based non-invasive, stress,
radiation and drug free computational electrophysiological system,
providing an objective and early detection of Ischemia caused by
Coronary Arterial Disease to save lives. “I am very humbled and honored
by this award, which I accept on behalf of all those who have devoted
their professional lives to the development of MCG technology,” said
Joseph T. Shen, MD, founder of Premier Heart.

The Red Dress Luncheon commemorates National Women’s Heart Week and serves as a platform to educate the public about heart disease in women during February, which is National Heart Month.
Keynote speaker for the event will be John E. Strobeck, MD, PhD, FACC, a practicing cardiologist and user of MCG, who stated: “The Multifunction CardioGram will become a major force in fighting heart disease at the earliest stages, and with Highmark Medicare’s recent approval of MCG as a ‘new technology’, many patients will benefit from the early confirmation of the presence or absence of significant coronary disease when symptoms of chest discomfort occur."
About the Women’s Heart Foundation
The mission of the Women’s Heart Foundation is to improve survival and quality of life through instituting prevention, wellness and gender care. The women and heart disease global awareness movement was started in 1988 due chiefly to the actions taken by WHF founder, registered nurse Bonnie Arkus who lost her own mother unexpectedly to heart disease at the age of 60.
