2009 Artery Explorer Tour Kicks Off This Month, Urging People Across the Country to Take Action Against Atherosclerosis

For immediate release: March 24, 2009

WILMINGTON, Del., March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) today announced the launch of the 2009 US AGAINST ATHERO tour featuring the Artery Explorer - a state-of-the-art, multisensory, motion simulator that helps people visualize atherosclerosis (athero), the progressive buildup of plaque inside the arteries. The Artery Explorer kicks off its nationwide tour on March 27 in Washington, D.C. and will travel to a total of 16 cities across the country.
