Bardy Diagnostics, maker of cardiac-monitoring adhesive patches, announced yesterday that Kevin Hykes began serving as the company's president and CEO on August 31. Hykes was formerly the president and CEO of Relievant Medical Systems, Metaventon and Cameron Health. Earlier in his career he spent 16 years at Medtronic. As Bardy Diagnostics' new head, he'll help develop and execute the company's business strategy while keeping an eye on its overall operations.

As a result, Dr. Gust H. Bardy, the company's founder and prior head, has shifted into roles as the company's chief medical officer and chief innovation officer. He retains his position as chairman of the board.

"I'm very excited and pleased to have Kevin join our executive team as president and CEO," Bardy said in a statement. "I've had the privilege of working with Kevin when he was CEO of the last company I founded, Cameron Health, where he led the global commercialization of the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator and ultimately our successful sale to Boston Scientific. 

"I am looking forward to transitioning into my new role as chief medical officer and chief innovation officer and turning day-to-day management of the company over to Kevin as we continue to experience tremendous growth in the adoption of our CAM p-wave centric patch as the new standard of care in ambulatory cardiac monitoring devices," he said.
