DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 10, 2007 - Corgenix Medical Corporation (OTC BB: CONX) and the Company's clinical collaborators reported new clinical data demonstrating a significant correlation between serum levels of the Company's patented AtherOx(TM) bio-markers and cardiovascular disease. The data was presented at the XXIst Congress of the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) in Geneva, Switzerland.

Data released this week shows the association of antibodies to the AtherOx complex (anti-AtherOx) with vascular thrombosis (particularly with arterial thrombosis) in patients with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and anti-phospholipid syndrome. The study looked at 113 SLE patients (94 with secondary anti-phospholipid syndrome and 19 without) and concluded the measurement of anti-AtherOx is significantly better than conventional anti-cardiolipin testing in identifying patients with vascular complications, and suggests the pivotal role of B2GPI in vascular injury and thrombosis.

As with SLE, patients with diabetes also develop significant vascular complications such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Data from an additional study also released indicated increased levels of the AtherOx complex in patients with diabetes mellitus. This study of 50 Type 2 diabetic patients taking cholesterol-lowering statin drugs (Lipitor(R), Crestor(R) and Zocor(R)) showed reduced levels of AtherOx complexes, suggesting that these statins may also have a beneficial effect in lowering oxidative stress, a significant factor in atherosclerosis.

An interim report was released on a third ongoing prospective study of anti-phospholipid antibodies and AtherOx in patients with coronary artery disease (the CaPS study). While both anti-phospholipid antibodies and AtherOx complexes are present in patients with coronary artery disease, data on 232 patients tested to date showed
