Vscan Air™ | Unlocking care - Getting ahead of the cardio curve

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 18 million lives each year, according to the World Health Organization. Management of CVD relies on early detection, even more so in lower-income countries and communities.
With the help of Vscan Air™ SL two Cardiology doctors, are placing priority on getting ahead of heart issues within one of the most diverse communities in London, by identifying and diagnosing conditions before they become fatal.
Dr. Guy Lloyd and Dr. Nabila Laskar are assessing patients weekly in the Spitalfields practice in East London. “Years ago, we went to scan people using handheld devices in the townships in South Africa looking for early stage of heart disease in children. It was the first introduction to how if you use something in the palm of your hand, the size of a mobile phone, you can massively impact people’s lives by detecting disease early “ shares Dr. Guy Lloyd, Consultant Cardiologist, BART’s Heart Center, Clinical Director for Cardiac Diagnostics.
In the video, Dr. Nabila Laskar, Senior Cardiology Registrar and Research Fellow, BART’s Heart Center also shares her observation “We are already preventing a significant proportion of emergency admissions, which reduces the pressure on our local hospitals”.
