KIRKLAND, Wash., April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kestra Medical Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ:KMTS), a leading wearable medical device and digital healthcare company, today announced it will exhibit at Heart Rhythm 2026, the annual meeting of the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) taking place April 23–26 in Chicago. The company will showcase its Cardiac Recovery System^® platform—a modern, integrated approach to managing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) risk that unites proven therapy, actionable clinical insights, and ongoing patient support to enhance protection and optimize care.

Kestra, one of the fastest-growing companies in medical technology, continues to build momentum as clinicians increasingly shift toward more connected approaches to SCA risk management. At HRS, attendees will see why more clinicians are turning to Kestra to improve patient protection and better manage risk during the most vulnerable stages of recovery.

The ASSURE^® WCD is at the center of the Cardiac Recovery System platform. Insights from the ASSURE WCD Clinical Evaluation Post-Approval Study (ACE-PAS)—the largest prospective study of wearable defibrillators to date—demonstrate robust real-world performance and continue to guide innovation across the platform. At HRS, Kestra is launching a recently FDA-approved ASSURE WCD algorithm update that builds on market-leading clinical performance and applies real-world data to further enhance patient protection and advance care.

"At Kestra, innovation is a core principle, so we are excited to further advance the clinical benefits of the ASSURE WCD with this new algorithm. We're seeing a clear shift in how clinicians approach SCA risk, with a growing emphasis on patient compliance and connected models of care," said Brian Webster, President and Chief Executive Officer. "HRS is a pivotal moment to engage with prescribers and demonstrate how our clinically informed innovation is driving that momentum—delivering meaningful improvements for clinicians and their patients."

Kestra will be located at Booth 2119, where attendees can experience the ASSURE system firsthand, explore the Cardiac Recovery System platform through an immersive multimedia experience, and review clinical data from ACE-PAS.
