VMS+ IS A LIFELINE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID

Everyday researchers are reporting more about Covid-19 and coming to the understanding that the heart is affected. Thus, more healthcare professionals are recognizing the need for superior cardiac imaging analysis in order to effectively diagnose and manage cardiac conditions during a time to which other medical imaging modules are unavailable.

SUPERIOR QUANTIFICATION

KBR IS POWER

MONITOR THE RIGHT VENTRICLE FOR HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS.

Journal of Invasive Cardiology

A recent study from the Icahn school of medicine at Mount Sinai in New York city concludes that a dilated RV is known to predict mortality in patients that contracted Covid-19 and reported to emergency. In respect, of infection control and the need for bedside tools, the study authors recommend using echocardiography as a means of assessing those at risk.

The VMS's KBR technology produces accurate and reproducible ejection fractions and volume measurements for all four chambers. Results comparable to MRI. In addition, results for right ventricle possible with only sparse data.

TECHNOLOGY THAT FITS

MANAGE THE EXPECTED

Jama cardiology

A German study reviewed the MRI scans of 100 recovering patients, who contracted Covid but did not have any known cardiac condition, after two months of recovery time. The researchers found that:

78% had cardiac involvement,

60% had myocardial inflammation

OBSERVATIONS SUGGEST

HEART MUSCLE IS ATTACKED

San Francisco-based Gladstone Institutes,

Scientists made a number of observations when SARS-CoV-2 virus was added to human heart cells grown in lab dishes, the long muscle fibers that keep hearts beating were diced into short bits. The fiber fragments bore no resemblance to the disintegration seen in other acquired or hereditary diseases of the heart muscle. Further to this, there were black holes where DNA should have been in the nucleus of these cells. While this was a petri dish experiment, the scientists saw a similar phenomenon in heart tissue from Covid-19 patients’ autopsies.

The VMS can be used to monitor at risk patients and provide early treatment in order to ensure the best ever recovery.

Rapid Quantification

Point of care technology

Generate measurements that are equivalent to MRI in less than 15 minutes.

VMS is a point of care technology that follows the typical workflow of a sonographer or cardiologist during his or her initial examination of a patient. Thus, it can be integrated in clinics and long term care and emergency room.

Telemedicine

Infection control

The VMS+ KBR technlogy is downloadable and analysis can take place at anytime or anywhere. This enables the clinicians to view results anywhere and share results.

The VMS can be easily cleaned with hospital cleaning agents. The system can be easily installed in the hospital infrastructure. remotely.

Remote installation

Integration

We have remotely installed the system in North America and European countries

The VMS was designed to be part of the standard exam which required us to only use standard images that conform to DICOM standards. and all images can be stored on PACS.
