View in context

Cardiac disease is not an illness of only the aged, says Nancy Partika, the founder and facilitator of the Gilbert Cardiac Support Group at AMITA Health Alexian Brothers Medical Center.

"I have read a lot of research stating that women are now catching up to men in occurrence of cardiac issues," the licensed professional counselor explained.

Support group helps cardiac patients thrive

Cardiac Science Inc., (Nasdaq:DFIB), Irvine, Calif., has been granted approval by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration to allow Cardiac Science to begin marketing its unique fully automatic Powerheart(R) hospital bedside defibrillator-monitor in Australia.

Cardiac Science also announced it entered into an exclusive distribution agreement for Australia and sold 50 of its Powerheart defibrillator-monitors along with disposable defibrillation electrodes and related accessories resulting in $333,500 in revenue.

AUSTRALIA APPROVES CARDIAC SCIENCES' POWERHEART

Incorporation of Cardiac Science's tachyarrhythmia detection software will enable Medtronic Physio-Control external defibrillators to be pre-attached to hospitalized patients identified to be a risk of cardiac arrest, instantly detect the onset of a lethal heart rhythm and provide life-saving defibrillation therapy automatically, within seconds and without the aid of hospital staff.

"Integrating our proprietary technology into the next generation of hospital defibrillators sold by the worldwide market leader brings us closer to our goal that all in-hospital cardiac patients get defibrillated within seconds should they suffer a life-threatening heart rhythm," said Raymond W.
