CardioNet updates a-fib management program

CardioNet, a wireless medical technology company that focuses on the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias, has released a new atrial fibrillation (AF) reporting package for its current AF Management Program.

The Conshocken, Pa.-based CardioNet said its AF Management Program offers a tool to the physician for the diagnosis, treatment and management of AF patients. The program also aids physicians in monitoring the clinical efficacy of catheter and surgical ablation procedures for the management of post surgical patients.

The company said that the reporting enhancements will strengthen CardioNet’s current proprietary correlated Heart Rate Trend Chart and AF Burden Graph by providing detailed AF statistics, including the duration of AF episodes, the percentage of time that a patient is in AF over a 24-hour period and heart rate trends while the patient is in AF.
