Early warning heart attack system unveiled

The system was developed at the university of Manchester and automatically streams information on heart rate & rhythm, physical activity and fluid build up, straight to the hospital

I'm James MacDonald with news that a new remote alert system for heart failure has been presented at the Cardiology Congress in Barcelona. The system was developed at the university of Manchester and automatically streams information on heart rate & rhythm, physical activity and fluid build up, straight to the hospital. If the patients readings become high risk the system will alert doctors and nurses. In tests hospitalisations were over 50% lower in patients who used the new system.
