Toronto, ON - TheNewswire - July 5, 2023 - Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. ("Ventripoint" or the "Company"), (TSXV:VPT) (OTC:VPTDF) is pleased to announce that a VMS+ product has been purchased by and is fully operstional in the Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité (DHZC), German Heart Center, in Berlin, Germany.

Prof. Felix Berger, Director of the Clinic for Congenital Heart Disease – Pediatric Cardiology at DHZC stated, "VMS+ not only gives us a very precise spatial view of complex congenital malformations at any time, but it also provides us with important data on the function of the heart muscle. This allows us to plan therapy even more precisely, check it at any time and adjust it if necessary.”

The DHZC is the university heart center of Charité– Universitätsmedizin Berlin which is the largest heart center in Germany for the treatment of all cardiovascular diseases in patients of all ages.  The Charité is one of Germany’s most research-intensive medical institutions and was ranked this year as the 7th best hospital in the world and the best in Europe by Newsweek (https://www.newsweek.com/rankings/worlds-best-hospitals-2023). The DHZC’s departments for Congenital Heart Disease – Pediatric Cardiology and Congenital and Pediatric Heart Surgery are among the leading institutions in Europe for the diagnosis and therapy of congenital and acquired heart disease (CHD). In 2021, the unit treated 1,005 statutory and 2,300 ambulatory CHD children. These numbers are continuously growing with the patients coming from Eastern Europe and neighbouring countries. Approximately  6,000 children are born in Germany every year with heart defects that require treatment and lifelong monitoring.  The German Heart center is the central point of contact for advice, diagnostics, and therapy for the life of patients with CHD.

The VMS+ will be an asset to the hospital’s pediatric cardiology led by Prof. Dr. med. Felix Berger, a world-renowned pediatric cardiologist. The innovative product was purchased in order to improve efficacy and patient management in the CHD department. The VMS+ offers an accessible and timely cardiac diagnostic alternative to cMRI. The VMS+ with Knowledge-Based Reconstruction (KBR™) produces metrics that are more accurate and reliable compared to other standard ultrasound measurement techniques. This exciting new site will give the VMS+ larger visibility in the European market. Ventripoint strives to advance care for cardiovascular diseases for everyone and especially for children.

The DHZC’s purchase was enabled by Ventripoint’s partner in Europe, Angiopro GmbH, a leading German-based distributor.
