Ventripoint Welcomes Evelina London Children's Hospital as Newest VMS+ User
Toronto, Ontario – The Newswire – August 22, 2023 - Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. ("Ventripoint" or the "Company"), (TSXV:VPT); (OTC:VPTDF) is pleased to announce that Evelina London Children’s Hospital (part of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust) is the newest user to adopt the VMS+ 3.0 system upgrade.
Dr. Saleha Kabir, Lead Physiologist in Paediatrics and Advanced Echocardiography stated: "Having had experience with the older Ventripoint system, the new VMS + system with its increased functionality is a great addition to our echo lab. The more compact console increases accessibility and mobility which allows us to use it in a variety of settings and the simplified workflow makes image acquisition faster, which is fantastic for our small and easily distracted paediatric patients!"
Evelina London Children’s Hospital is a specialist NHS hospital in London, England and is the second largest provider of children’s services in London caring for children and young people from across south London and southeast England. Evalina London has a range of children’s heart clinics including the fetal cardiology clinic and arrhythmia clinic. The children’s heart services (cardiology) cares for around 6,000 patients each year with all kinds of children’s heart problems including:
-
those present from birth, known as congenital heart disease.
-
those that develop after birth, known as acquired heart disease.

The VMS+ 3.0 system will provide the paediatric cardiology team with a way to obtain accurate volumes of all four chambers of the heart. The VMS+ uses standard 2D echo to obtain the necessary metrics with the accuracy of a cardiac MRI. The VMS+ will support Evelina London’s patient load and have a positive impact in patient care.
