CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Oct 01, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- BEAT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- CardioNet, Inc. (NASDAQ:BEAT), a leading wireless medical technology company with an initial focus on the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias, today announced the release of its new atrial fibrillation (AF) reporting package to enhance its current AF Management Program.

The CardioNet AF Management Program offers a robust and comprehensive tool to the physician for the diagnosis, treatment and management of their AF patients. The program additionally provides physicians with an efficient and flexible monitoring program to evaluate the clinical efficacy of catheter and surgical ablation procedures allowing improved management of these post surgical patients. CardioNet President and CEO, Arie Cohen, said of the new reporting package, "Our goal to continually provide physicians and patients with state of the art capabilities is evident in today's announcement, and we expect that our products and services will continue to improve patient lives and drive physician adoption of the CardioNet System."

The reporting enhancements will strengthen CardioNet's current proprietary correlated Heart Rate Trend Chart and AF Burden Graph by providing detailed atrial fibrillation statistics, including the duration of AF episodes, the percentage of time that a patient is in AF over a twenty four hour period, and heart rate trends while the patient is in AF. Dr. Peter R. Kowey, CardioNet Medical Director and Chief, Division of Cardiovascular Diseases at the Main Line Health System, said, "Quantifying the amount of AF over time represents a very important advance in caring for patients with this common arrhythmia." The CardioNet System is widely utilized by physicians and is proven to be nearly three times superior at detecting clinically significant atrial fibrillation(1), a condition which affects 2.2 million people in the United States.
