Cambridge Heart Retains Financial Advisor Benning Associates

Cambridge Heart, Inc. (OTCBB: CAMH), a developer of non-invasive diagnostic tests for cardiac disease, announced that it has retained the services of Benning Associates, LLC, a Boston based boutique investment bank, to assist in exploring the Company's strategic alternatives.

Using innovative technologies, Cambridge Heart addresses a key problem in cardiac diagnosis -- the identification of those at risk of sudden cardiac death. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) accounts for approximately one third of all cardiac deaths, or approximately 300,000 deaths, in the United States each year -- more than lung cancer, breast cancer and HIV/AIDS combined. Out-of-hospital survival is less than 8%, making prediction and prevention critically important. It is estimated that there are approximately 10 to 12 million heart attack and heart failure patients in the U.S. who can benefit from annual Microvolt T-Wave Alternans (MTWA) testing. MTWA is a marker of SCA risk which is measured during a non-invasive treadmill test using Cambridge Heart's proprietary technologies. The Company's MTWA test is the only one of its kind that is reimbursed by Medicare under a National Coverage Policy.
