Vicor Technologies, Inc. Reports First Quarter Revenues of $168,000

BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire - April 26, 2011) - David H. Fater, CEO of Vicor Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: VCRT), today announced that Vicor's revenues for the first quarter of 2011 were $168,000, compared with $69,000 for the fourth quarter of 2010, an increase of 142%. Vicor Technologies is a biotechnology company focused on the commercialization of its PD2i Analyzer™, an innovative, non-invasive diagnostic employing its patented, proprietary PD2i® nonlinear algorithm. Physician use of the PD2i Analyzer™ is supported by an expanding body of literature demonstrating the value of the PD2i® nonlinear algorithm as a metric for risk stratifying specific target populations for future pathological events, including diabetics for the presence of diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN), cardiovascular disease patients for death resulting from arrhythmia or congestive heart failure, and trauma victims for imminent death absent immediate lifesaving intervention.

Revenues for the first quarter from equipment sales, test fees, and lease income reached 88 percent of total 2010 revenues, which were $190,000. Mr. Fater credits Vicor's continually expanding nationwide network of independent sales representatives with driving sales of its PD2i Analyzer™ and revenue growth. According to Vicor National Sales Manager Christopher Vissman, as of March 31, 2011, the Company had independent sales representatives targeting physicians specializing in endocrinology, internal medicine, cardiology, and family medicine in 22 states across the United States: AZ, CA, CO, FL GA, MA, MD, MO, MS, NC, NJ, NV, NY, OH, SC, TN, TX, OR, WA, MT, LA, and MI.

"There is a direct link between the efforts of our expanding network of independent sales representatives and our growth in revenues, which underscores our continued need for additional capital to deploy regional sales managers to supplement our independent sales force, accelerate the closing process, and drive revenue growth. We are excited by the positive reception the PD2i Analyzer™ is receiving, and anticipate this will increase with our latest 510(k) marketing clearance for patients undergoing cardiovascular disease testing. In addition to increases in domestic sales, we are looking forward to generating revenues from international sales of our PD2i® products once our distributors have received the necessary regulatory approvals. Regulatory agencies in China and Israel have already begun their review of our products," stated Mr. Fater.

About VicorTechnologies, Inc.
