Atrial right to left (aRL) shunting is often identified on echocardiograms in the early postoperative period following repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and thought to reflect poor right ventricular (RV) compliance, but to be possibly beneficial in serving as a “pop off” for the RV. We aimed to investigate the relationship between aRL shunting to echocardiographic diastolic function and […]

Left ventricular mid-ventricular obstruction (MVO) is thought to be dynamic with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Therefore, the distance between the anterior papillary muscle and interventricular septum was employed as a parameter named APM-IVS distance for assessing MVO by rest echocardiography.

Correction to the paper entitled “The Indispensable and Diverse Role of Clinician-Scientists in Echo Innovation” by Lindner et al., published in the January 2025 issue of JASE (J Am Soc Echocardiogr 2025;38:A21-2).

The American Society of Echocardiography 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.

As my year as President winds down, I am now down to my last 2 messages to our Society. We have achieved so much thanks to several key ASE leaders and staff, but none so critical as our evolving role in the cardiovascular ultrasound innovation space. I have asked Dr. Steve Lester, Meredith Morovati, and Sam King to highlight a few key milestones in our industry relations and innovation arena. […]
