CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CardioNet, Inc. (NASDAQ:BEAT) today announced the launch of SomNet ™, a new clinical indicator available in the Company’s existing Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry™ (MCOT™) system. Because many patients with cardiac disorders also suffer from common sleep disorders like sleep apnea, CardioNet believes that SomNet has the potential to identify patients with a high likelihood of such sleep disorders by measuring cyclic variation of heart rate (CVHR), a rhythm that is caused by repeated arousals from sleep due to such disorders. SomNet’s utility is based on data presented at the Heart Rhythm Society’s (HRS) 30th Annual Scientific Sessions in Boston.
