Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. ("Ventripoint") (TSX VENTURE:VPT) announces that a
group led by Dr. Kai Laser at the Center for Congenital Heart Defects, Bad
Oeynhausen, Germany, has published the results of a clinical study that
demonstrates the robust application of the VMS heart analysis technology beyond
2D ultrasound imaging in a wide range of cardiac conditions.


"The Ventripoint approach to analyzing the right ventricle of the heart works
for all types of scanning and gives rapid, accurate and important results for
the diagnoses and management of patients with a wide spectrum of complex cardiac
conditions," stated Dr. Laser. 


For the first time, this study shows that the bias often reported between MRI
and echocardiography results are due to analysis technique and not imaging
modality. In the study all three imaging modalities: 2D-echo, 3D echo and
cardiac MRI gave the same results when analyzed using the VMS technique and were
equivalent to the gold-standard MRI analysis using the method of disks.
Historically, the comparison of echocardiography and cardiac MRI analysis has
been discouraged due to unexplained discrepancies. This is an important
consideration when trying to assess a patient's progress over time where
multiple imaging modalities may have been used in the past. Standardization
using the VMS technique for all images would give comparable longitudinal
results and allow for better patient monitoring and treatment decisions. 


The study also showed that the time to complete the analysis on these complex
cases was reduced to 5 minutes using the VMS approach compared to 10 to 30
minutes using conventional techniques. 


A report has been accepted for publication in the Journal of the American
Society of Echocardiography and is entitled "Knowledge-Based Reconstruction of
Right Ventricular Volumes Using Real-time Three-dimensional Echocardiographic as
Well as Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Images: Comparison with a Cardiac Magnetic
Resonance Standard." This study further validates the VMS approach as accurate
and reliable for analyzing MRI images or 3D ultrasound images, when adequate
quality images can be acquired. 


"This study, by an independent group, shows how the VMS technology can be
applied across multiple imaging modalities and provides accurate and equivalent
results for Right Ventricular function," stated Dr. George Adams, CEO of
Ventripoint. "This ability of the VMS greatly increases our market potential, as
it allows us to seek partners who would integrate the VMS approach into MRI and
3D-echocardiography analysis packages, while continuing to market VMS for
routine 2D-echocardiography."


About the Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography 

The Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, with a monthly print
and digital distribution of over 50,000, is considered the top-tier publication
for peer-reviewed studies related to cardiac ultrasound imaging.
