"Pivotal congratulates Dr. Jackowski on his Diamond Jubilee Medal,"
stated Mr. Eugene Bortoluzzi, Chief Executive Officer. "As one of the
pioneers of Canadian Biotech over the past thirty years, his
contribution has led to a significant improvement in the quality of
life and care for cardiac patients. Dr. Jackowski is responsible for
saving thousands of lives with the development of the rapid format
cardiac blood test, which remains the standard of care for triaging
patients presenting to the emergency room with chest pain."




Dr. Jackowski developed the first rapid format cardiac test over twenty
years ago, which is currently used worldwide in hospitals and emergency
rooms. The Cardiac Panel point of care test, commonly known as the
"cardiac enzymes", is used to diagnose individuals presenting with
chest pain to the emergency room. Dr. Jackowski's current research
focus on the treatment and prevention of cardiac risk factors, resulted
in the development of Pivotal's unique Omega-3 formulation, VASCAZEN®, for the treatment of an Omega-3 dietary deficiency in cardiovascular
patients.
