Data regarding the right ventricular (RV) mechanical adaptation to secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) is scarce.

Cardiac surgery is the cornerstone of treatment of several heart conditions, but accurate risk stratification is critical. Commonly used scores do not include right ventricular (RV) function. We aimed to evaluate if 3D right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) predicts outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery after adjusting for the EuroSCORE II.

Echocardiography is the bedrock of cardiovascular imaging, offering unrivaled insights into structural and functional abnormalities. Pediatric and congenital echocardiography address the unique complexities of congenital heart disease (CHD) across the lifespan. This is an exciting time to be a member of ASE’s Council on Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease (PCHD) as we focus on priorities, […]

The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. ASE recognizes courses as supplements to formal training in an established echocardiographic laboratory. For more information about a course, please call the number listed. To list a course in the Continuing Education […]

Vascular access is a commonly performed procedure to facilitate patient care. This document provides expert consensus from diverse specialists on best practices and techniques for incorporating ultrasound (US) into vascular access procedures. This update replaces the 2011 American Society of Echocardiography guidelines for US-guided vascular cannulation. It includes recommendations for US-guided […]
