VERSANA ACTIVE ULTRASOUND SYSTEM, Menzies School of Health Research, NT (2 needed)
$48,500.00
This equipment will be used in the detection and diagnoses of Rheumatic Heart Disease. Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a serious disease of the heart involving damage to one or more of the four small heart valves. RHD is the most common worldwide cause of heart-related death in children and adults aged under 40 years, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples eight times more likely than other Australians to be hospitalised, and nearly 20 times more likely to die from this disease. RHD in the Northern Territory is a devastating condition, leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. This ultrasound will allow staff to detect RHD in children and will assist in prevention efforts and treatment management.
