NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - October 15, 2008) - Daxor Corporation (AMEX: DXR), a medical instrumentation and biotechnology company, announced the publication of a comparison study of the blood volume and anemia characteristics in heart failure patients in the October 2008 issue of The American Journal of Cardiology. In the study, heart failure patients were categorized on the basis of whether they had a normal ejection fraction versus a low ejection fraction. An ejection fraction is a measurement of how much blood is pumped out of the heart and is used by physicians to determine how well the heart is functioning. Significant controversy exists as to how these heart failure patients should be optimally treated.
