Cambridge Heart launches enhanced website

Cambridge Heart (Tewksbury, Massachusetts), a maker of non-invasive diagnostic tests for cardiac disease, has launched an updated, feature-rich website at www.cambridgeheart.com.

The new site features updated content in a variety of multimedia formats and addresses the company's key audiences including clinicians, patients and investors. New graphics, increased functionality and improved navigation to allow users to easily access important information about sudden cardiac arrest and to learn about Cambridge Heart's Microvolt T-Wave Alternans (MTWA) diagnostic test.

Patients can now use the website to locate testing facilities in their area that offer the MTWA test.

“As the MTWA test continues to be embraced by the medical community through our partnership with Cardiac Science, it is important that we provide a resource for clinicians and patients who are interested in learning more about how MTWA testing can help identifying and managing patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest,“ said Ali Haghighi-Mood, CEO, Cambridge Heart.
