(TSX VENTURE:EKG) (\"CardioComm\" or the \"Company\"), a global provider of consumer heart monitoring and electrocardiogram (\"ECG\") device and software solutions, confirms market traction with orders being placed by physician groups for the newly launched HeartCheck™ CardiBeat Handheld ECG monitor and GEMS™ Mobile Smartphone app for prescribed in-home arrhythmia monitoring.Partners in Advanced Cardiac Evaluation (\"PACE\"), the largest arrhythmia practice in Ontario (Canada) placed a first order of the HeartCheck™ CardiBeat Handheld ECG monitors and is recommending its patients to use the devices for one year of in-home, self-monitoring with an emphasis on detecting a recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation (\"AF\") following cardiac ablation treatment for AF.

Cardiac ablation is a procedure commonly used to correct AF; however, AF recurrence after ablation is common and can be \"silent\", occuring without any symptoms, discomfort or warning to the patient (See Note 1). PACE patients will use the GEMS™ Mobile Smartphone app to record ECGs taken by the HeartCheck™ CardiBeat which will then be automatically forwarded by CardioComm's SMART Monitoring ECG service directly into the patient's cardiologist's Electronic Medical Record (\"EMR\"). Should any submitted ECG recordings show a recurrence of AF or a presence of other cardiac arrhythmias, the patients are contacted by PACE and follow-up visits scheduled.
