TEWKSBURY, Mass.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--[ Cambridge Heart, ] Inc. (OTCBB: CAMH), a developer of non-invasive diagnostic tests for cardiac disease, today announced that its Microvolt T-Wave Alternans ([ MTWA ]) test was recently featured in Diagnostic and Interventional Cardiology (DAIC) as the Case of the Week.

"MTWA is a tool to help clarify the overall arrhythmic risk, particularly for patients who fall into a agray areaa™ in terms of ICD eligibility."

The clinical case illustrates the prognostic value of the test in a patient who received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) after testing positive for MTWA. One year later, the patient experienced sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) while resting at home and was revived by a shock from the device. aThis patient would not have received life-saving ICD therapy if he had not undergone an MTWA study,a noted Dr. Keith G. Boman, the patienta™s cardiologist. aMTWA is a tool to help clarify the overall arrhythmic risk, particularly for patients who fall into a agray areaa™ in terms of ICD eligibility.a

aThis is a powerful real-world example of how MTWA can benefit patients by providing a unique piece of diagnostic information,a says Dr. Ali Haghighi-Mood, CEO of Cambridge Heart.

Diagnostic & Interventional Cardiology is the widest-reaching provider of new product information, technology trends, application strategies and related connectivity solutions in the diagnostic and interventional cardiology markets.

Sudden cardiac arrest claims 300,000 lives in the United States each year. Out-of-hospital survival is less than 8%, making prediction and prevention critically important. Microvolt T-Wave Alternans is a marker of SCA risk which is measured from the electrocardiogram (ECG) recorded during a non-invasive treadmill test.
