BG Medicine is a publicly-traded life sciences company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel diagnostic tests based on biomarkers for high-value market opportunities in healthcare that we identify. The Company’s lead product, the BGM Galectin-3 test for heart failure, measures galectin-3 levels in blood plasma or serum. Galectin-3 is a protein that has been shown to play an important role in heart failure, which is a leading cause of death. The Company is also developing three other diagnostic product candidates for cardiovascular disease, including (i) a second indication of its galectin-3 test as a predictor of heart failure development in patients following heart attack or a related condition called unstable angina, a serious form of cardiac chest pain; (ii) AMIPredict, to identify patients with a high risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke within the following two to four years; and (iii) LipidDx, a novel protein biomarker, to aid in the management of common lipid disorders.
