“Our annual meeting coincides with Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month and SCAA values the support of Cambridge Heart as we work to raise public understanding about cardiac arrest risk factors and treatment options,” said Chris Chiames, Executive Director of SCAA.
“SCA is the leading cause of death in the United States and can affect anyone,” said Ali Haghighi-Mood, Cambridge Heart President and CEO. Our support of this important organization will help to increase awareness of the dangers of SCA and to educate on the importance of prediction and prevention.”
Cambridge Heart manufactures the HearTwave® II which incorporates its patented MTWA technology into a state-of-the-art stress system. MTWA is a tool that can be used to help identify and manage SCA risk for many patients including those with myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure, cardiomyopathy or syncope.
