INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- FAST BioMedical, a late clinical-stage medical technology company, today announces establishing a Heart Failure Medical Advisory Board of world-recognized physicians, nurses and researchers. The Board will advise FAST's clinical development of measuring volume status to better treat heart failure patients. The board collectively has decades of experience in heart failure and cardiovascular patient care and have contributed to more than 1,300 peer-reviewed publications.

Steven Zelenkofske, D.O., M.S., FACC, FCCP, FACOI, has been appointed Chairman of the Heart Failure Medical Advisory Board. With over 20 years of industry experience bringing cardiovascular products through clinical development, Dr. Zelenkofske is currently Chief Medical Officer for SwanBio Therapeutics.

Dr. Zelenkofske was previously CMO of Achillion Pharmaceuticals and Regado Biosciences and held senior leadership positions at Astra-Zeneca, Sanofi-Aventis, Boston Scientific and Novartis.

"Heart failure is a common diagnosis, but with a common challenge: accurately assessing patients' fluid status to determine treatment. FAST's technology could be transformative in this space," said Zelenkofske. "It's an honor to join the Heart Failure Advisory Board and be appointed its chairman to guide ushering in new clinical developments."

Stefan Anker, MD, Ph.D., is a Professor of (Tissue) Homeostasis in Cardiology & Metabolism at Charité University in Berlin and has authored more than 950 original papers, reviews and editorials. Dr. Anker has won several prizes, including the 2018 Copernicus Prize of German DFG and Polish FNP. He has served on the Board of the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) since 2006 and was HFA President from 2012-2014. Dr. Anker is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the ESC Heart Failure journal.

Veselin Mitrovic, MD, is a Professor of Cardiology at the Johann-Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt-on-Main, Germany, and Medical Director of Kerckhoff-Klinik Forschungsgesellschaft mbH, and a senior consultant at Kerckhoff-Klinik GmbH in Bad Nauheim, Germany. Dr. Mitrovic is involved in multiple national and international clinical drug and device trials in heart failure and arrhythmia. In addition to authoring more than 145 original papers, 167 abstracts, 21 book chapters and review articles, Dr. Mitrovic serves on the editorial boards of several major journals including World Journal of Cardiology and Acta Medica Mediane. He is also a scientific reviewer for the journals Clinical Research in Cardiology, Perfusion and Journal of Cardiovascular Surgeon.

Dr. Peacock serves on several medical journal editorial boards, including Editor of the European Society of Cardiology Heart Failure Journal, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, and Editor of Current Emergency and Hospital Medicine Reports: Heart Failure Section.

Nancy Albert, PhD, CCNS, CHFN, CCRN, NE-BC, FAHA, FHFSA, FCCM, FAAN, serves as Associate Chief Nursing Officer, Nursing Institute at the Office of Nursing Research and Innovation in the Cleveland Clinic Health System and Clinical Nurse Specialist at the George M. and Linda H.

Her professional society memberships and appointments include the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nurses, American Association of Critical Care Nurses, American Association of Heart Failure Nurses, American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association/American Stroke Association and the Heart Failure Society of America.

"Establishing this world-class advisory board will greatly enhance our ability to pinpoint the needs doctors and nurses face when caring for heart failure patients," said FAST BioMedical CEO Joe Muldoon. "Our first-in-class technology is being developed to offer a direct, dynamic, serial measurement of volume status and kidney function. This can potentially give a much clearer clinical picture to guide therapy, and this board is the next step in making that a reality."
