- The Physiology of Flow Cessation: A Call for Inclusion of Continuous-Wave Doppler Interrogation of the Mid-Apical Left Ventricle in the Standard Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Protocolby Daniele Massera, Mark V. Sherrid on April 9, 2026 at 12:00 am
- Longitudinal trajectories of secondary mitral regurgitation in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathyby Paolo Manca, Caterina Gregorio, Antonio De Luca, Carola Pio Loco, Massimiliano Mulè, Manlio Cipriani, Marco Merlo, Gianfranco Sinagra, Davide Stolfo on April 3, 2026 at 12:00 am
In non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NICM), the severity of secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) is dynamic, depending on loading conditions and the effect of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). However, the longitudinal trajectories of SMR and their prognostic implications remain insufficiently explored. We aimed to define the long-term trajectories of SMR and their prognostic impact […]
- ASE’s Big Tent: Specialty Interest Groups Are Communities Where All Our Members Can Feel at Homeby David H. Wiener, Etienne Côté, Amin Sabet on April 1, 2026 at 12:00 am
The American Society of Echocardiography is a large but small Society. How is that paradox possible? The largest, worldwide, cardiovascular imaging Society with over 21,000 members and a reputation as the thought leader in cardiovascular ultrasound, ASE is large enough to matter. Yet, ASE feels like a family. Our “Society With A Soul™” offers intimate communities where our members grow […]

- Standing Valsalva Maneuver Accentuates Labile Obstruction in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathyby McKenzie Schweitzer, Prabhjot Hundal, Lauren Howard, Abigail Benser, Patrycja Galazka, Renuka Jain, A. Jamil Tajik on March 30, 2026 at 12:00 am
- Reclassification of Diastolic Function by the 2025 American Society of Echocardiography Diastolic Function Guidelines and Risk of Mortalityby Nicholas Spetko, Craig H. Scott, Constance Angell-James, Madeline Cassidy, Tooba Alwani, Monica Mukherjee, Sherif F. Nagueh, Jordan B. Strom on March 30, 2026 at 12:00 am
Whether the 2025 American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) diastolic dysfunction (DD) algorithm (DD25) improves mortality prognostication compared to the 2016 algorithm (DD16) in real-world practice is uncertain.
- Tricuspid Regurgitation Peak-to-Mean Velocity Ratio: Linking Doppler Morphology to Right Heart Hemodynamics in Pulmonary Hypertensionby Arthur Iturriagagoitia, Thierry Bové, Michel De Pauw, Els Vandecasteele, Marc De Buyzere, Frank Timmermans on March 30, 2026 at 12:00 am
The peak-to-mean tricuspid regurgitation (TR) velocity ratio (Vmax/Vmean) is a quantitative descriptor of continuous-wave Doppler (CWD) waveform morphology. Its physiological and clinical significance in pulmonary hypertension (PH) remains incompletely characterized. We investigated the relationship between Vmax/Vmean, right heart structure and function, and clinical outcomes in patients with […]
- ADAPTING INTERVENTIONAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY TO NEW TECHNIQUES: ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC GUIDANCE FOR TRANSCATHETER MYOTOMY USING SEPTAL SCORING ALONG THE MIDLINE ENDOCARDIUM (SESAME)by G. Burkhard Mackensen, Ester Canovas-Rodriguez, Richard Sheu, Patrick Gleason, Srdjan Jelacic, Jaffar M. Khan, Omar K. Khalique, Adam B. Greenbaum, Robert J. Lederman, Barbara Danek-Karatasakis, Vasilis C. Babaliaros, David Elison, James M. McCabe on March 28, 2026 at 12:00 am
Septal Scoring Along the Midline Endocardium (SESAME) is a recently developed electrosurgical, percutaneous myotomy technique. It was designed to prevent iatrogenic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction following transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) in patients with prohibitive surgical risk. SESAME can also be used to reduce LVOT obstruction in cases of obstructive […]
