Angeion Corporation Expands International Support
Through New Medical Graphics Branch Office in Milan

SAINT PAUL, Minn. (March 19, 2007) — Angeion Corporation (NASDAQ: ANGN)
announced today that its Medical Graphics business has opened a European branch office in
Milan, Italy. This new office will facilitate revenue growth in international markets, provide closer
marketing support to distribution partners and expand technical support for clinical research.
The office will house the Minnesota-based medical device firm’s business development
manager, as well as technical and field service support dedicated to the Company’s expanding
business.

“Recent growth in our Medical Graphics international cardiorespiratory business, combined with
the number of European-based clinical research sites utilizing our diagnostic systems and
services, and revenue potential necessitate our presence in Europe,” Rodney Young, Angeion
Chief Executive Officer and President, commented. “We are excited about the future impact of
our new European branch office. It expands our commitment to provide the highest quality
customer care, real-time technical support on a multi-lingual basis, as well as country-specific
marketing for our distribution partners. In addition to notably reducing our international travel
related expenses, one of the most significant benefits of our new branch office will be our ability
to provide a seamless, efficient connection between our corporate resources and our
international distribution partners and end-users.”
