HealthHelp to Coordinate Radiology Services for Advanced Cardiovascular Research Study

HOUSTON — HealthHelp has entered into an agreement with BG Medicine of Waltham, Mass., to coordinate radiology services for the High-Risk Plaque (HRP) Initiative.

The HRP Initiative was formed by Merck, AstraZeneca, Philips Medical Systems and BG Medicine to collaborate on research and development of improved techniques for identifying individuals at risk for heart attacks and of advanced methods to monitor disease progression and treatment response.

"HealthHelp is honored to play a part in finding solutions to one of the largest unmet medical needs--heart attack and stroke prevention," said Cherrill Farnsworth, president and CEO of Houston-based HealthHelp. "We are providing a variety of imaging-related services to enable this first-of-its kind study."
