Angeion enters agreement with Garmin International

SAINT PAUL, MN — Angeion Corporation (NASDAQ: ANGN) announced today an agreement with Garmin International enabling integration of Angeion’s New Leaf Active Metabolic Trainingâ„¢ with Garmin’s Forerunner 305 GPS fitness device. Now, users can download their unique New Leaf Active Metabolic Training profile to their Garmin Forerunner® 305 via the Internet. The Forerunner 305 can then audibly and visually guide users through their exercise based on personalized heart rate zones from their metabolic profile to make every workout count. The New Leaf download includes measured calories, metabolic training zones, and up to 12 weeks of workouts. The Garmin Forerunner 305 is a highly integrated GPS fitness device that monitors heart rate and calories burned as well as time, speed, distance while exercising either indoors or outdoors. New Leaf Active Metabolic Training begins with a 10-15 minute personal metabolic assessment that analyzes the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the breath along with heart rate over a range of exercise intensities. The assessment results in actual measured calories, fuel efficiency (fat utilization), anaerobic threshold, and peak oxygen consumption. This snapshot of metabolism serves as the basis for designing successful exercise programs for weight control, fitness, or athletic performance goals. New Leaf assessments are available from a variety of health, fitness, and performance centers throughout North America and in select international markets.

Adding New Leaf metabolic training technology to the Forerunner creates a unique, personalized tool for everyone that exercises.” “We are pleased to offer the New Leaf Active Metabolic capability to Forerunner 305 owners,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales. “Combining the Forerunner with New Leaf Active Metabolic Training helps people achieve their fitness goals faster as they exercise smarter, not harder.” Garmin and Angeion New Leaf will be demonstrating the benefits of training with the Forerunner 305 and New Leaf at the 26th Annual International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) convention, March 28-31, 2007, in San Francisco, California (booth 233).
