Cardio Diagnostics Holdings, Inc. to Showcase Precision Cardiovascular Solutions at Four National Benefits Conferences in June

Key Terms

cardiovascular disease medical

A group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, such as heart attacks, strokes and clogged arteries. Think of the cardiovascular system as a body’s plumbing and engine: when pipes narrow or the pump fails, treatment, devices and long-term care become necessary. Investors watch these diseases because their prevalence drives demand for drugs, devices and services, influences healthcare costs and insurer payouts, and affects workforce productivity and regulatory risk.

cvd medical

CVD stands for cardiovascular disease, a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, including heart attacks and strokes. It matters to investors because the size and trends of this health problem drive demand for drugs, medical devices, treatments and insurance, and because regulatory approvals, clinical results or public-health shifts can quickly change sales, costs and company valuations — like a weather system that reshapes market conditions for healthcare businesses.

epigenetics medical

Epigenetics is the study of how environmental factors and experiences can influence how genes are turned on or off without changing the underlying genetic code. Think of it like a dimmer switch for a light, adjusting the brightness without altering the bulb itself. This process can affect health, behavior, and even how diseases develop, which is important for investors interested in long-term trends in medicine, wellness, and biotech industries.

biomarkers medical

Biomarkers are measurable indicators found in the body, such as substances in blood or tissues, that reveal information about health or disease. For investors, they can signal how well a medical treatment is working or whether a disease is developing, helping to assess the potential success or risks of healthcare companies or innovations. Think of biomarkers as biological signals that provide clues about a person’s health status.

hipaa-compliant regulatory

HIPAA-compliant means that a product, service, or organization follows the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act’s rules for protecting patients’ private health information, including technical controls, physical safeguards, and record-keeping. For investors, compliance matters because it reduces risks of costly fines, lawsuits and reputational damage, and it can be a requirement to sell into healthcare markets — like having a certified lockbox and an audit trail that reassures customers and regulators.

coronary heart disease medical

Coronary heart disease is a condition in which the blood vessels that supply the heart become narrowed or blocked, reducing oxygen flow and raising the risk of chest pain, heart attacks, and heart failure; think of it like plumbing pipes in which buildup restricts flow. It matters to investors because prevalence, treatments, and outcomes drive demand for drugs, medical devices, hospital services, and insurance costs, and clinical or regulatory developments related to the disease can quickly move stock prices.

These evidence-based solutions help employers, brokers, and unions tackle cardiovascular disease, a leading driver of medical claims and lost productivity.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cardio Diagnostics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDIO), an AI-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company, today announced that the company will exhibit at four upcoming national benefits conferences, connecting with employers, brokers, union trustees, and plan administrators on a shared challenge: cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD remains a leading medical claims cost driver for most health plans and a major contributor to absenteeism, disability, and lost workforce productivity.

Cardio Diagnostics’ clinically validated blood tests, Epi+Gen CHD™ and PrecisionCHD™, combine epigenetics, genetics, and AI to help identify at-risk individuals before a life-threatening, costly cardiac event occurs. These tests go beyond proxy biomarkers for heart disease, such as cholesterol and blood pressure, to help improve plan member outcomes while equipping benefit leaders and organizations with an effective cost reduction strategy and helping brokers improve client retention. Paired with HeartRisk™, the company’s HIPAA-compliant real-time population insights platform, plan sponsors can benchmark cardiovascular risk across their workforce or membership, project both direct and indirect costs, and target benefits where they may have the greatest impact.

Cardio Diagnostics will be exhibiting at the following conferences in June:

• Greater Philadelphia Business Coalition on Health (GPBCH) Annual Conference — June 4, 2026, Philadelphia, PA.
• Conner Strong & Buckelew (CSB) Health & Benefits Innovation Summit — June 9, 2026, Philadelphia, PA.
• Midwest Employee Benefit Funds (MEBFC) Coalition, Inc. Annual Meeting — June 12, 2026, Countryside, IL.
• Onsite Employee Health & Wellness Centers Conference — June 25-26, 2026, Chicago, IL.

Closing the Gap on a Preventable Crisis

According to the World Heart Federation, an estimated 80% of CVD can be prevented. Yet, CVD is one of the leading combined direct and indirect cost drivers of benefits plans. These rising costs can impact broker satisfaction while straining the budgets of employers and union funds.

Cardio Diagnostics’ solutions can help to address this challenge. Epi+Gen CHD™ can identify individuals at higher risk for a heart attack or sudden cardiac death in the next three years, even when traditional risk factors like cholesterol and blood pressure appear normal. PrecisionCHD™ helps detect molecular signals associated with coronary heart disease before major symptoms or events may occur. When implemented, they work together to help individuals take preventive action while helping employers, unions, and brokers reduce spend and support a healthier, more productive workforce.

Meesha Dogan, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder of Cardio Diagnostics, highlighted the company’s unique position to partner with employers, brokers, and unions to tackle CVD. “The best benefits strategies do two things at once: bring spend down and keep individuals healthier. Cardiovascular disease presents an opportunity to do both. It’s a top claims driver, and it’s largely preventable when risk is identified early. Our precision tests and HeartRisk™ platform give plan sponsors a clear, individualized path to lower direct and indirect costs while keeping the workforce healthier, longer.”

Connect with Cardio Diagnostics to Learn:

• How epigenetic and genetic biomarkers can identify cardiovascular risk that traditional testing methods may miss.
• Why earlier detection of heart disease can translate into measurable claims reductions and fewer lost workdays.
• How our blood tests can be seamlessly integrated into an onsite clinic’s workflow to help deliver more personalized care for plan members.
• Practical models for integrating precision cardiovascular testing into existing wellness, chronic care, and benefits programs.
