Marti L. McCulloch, BS, MBA, RDCS, FASE Have you noticed a difference in your relationship with industry lately? Remember all of the social functions (dinner/happy hour) and educational vendor-sponsored events…
Background Although multiple echocardiographic methods exist to calculate cardiac output (CO), they have not been validated in mice using a reference method. Methods Echocardiographic and flow probe measurements of CO…
Takotsubo syndrome is characterized by transient and regional left ventricular dysfunction, which does not correspond anatomically to coronary distribution, without obstructive coronary lesions and frequently follows episodes of emotional or…
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…
Introduction The leadership at the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) decided on a proactive role in defining selected areas of research necessary in this decade that will meet our future…
Background There is a paucity of data on the prevalence of primary myxomatous degeneration (PMD) of the cardiac valves. Because the gold standard for the diagnosis is pathology, its preoperative…
Background Cardiac dysfunction is a well-recognized complication of light chain amyloidosis (AL). Autologous stem cell transplant (auto-SCT) has emerged as a successful treatment modality for AL patients. In this study,…
Background Successful transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) requires the accurate assessment of defect size and morphology. Assessment of ASD anatomy may be difficult by two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography. The…
