American Society of Echocardiography Advanced Echo 2026

Release Date: April 29, 2026

Advanced Echo 2026: Innovations, Interventions, and Clinical Guidelines is a comprehensive program designed to update cardiology and imaging professionals on the forefront of cardiovascular ultrasound. The curriculum comprising of content from the ASE’s State-of-the-Art Echocardiography and Echo Hawaii live courses, explores the latest clinical standards, including the 2025 ASE guidelines for diagnosing HFpEF and approaches for right heart chamber quantification. Case-based approaches are used to discuss new and established applications of echocardiography for diagnosis and guiding management in patients with a broad array of cardiovascular conditions.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this program, participants will be better able to:

Apply recent clinical guidelines to accurately assess right heart chamber quantification, complex diastolic dysfunction, and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Evaluate complex valvular and structural heart diseases, utilizing procedural echocardiography to confidently guide interventions such as TAVR, Mitral TEER, and Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) occlusion.
Identify and differentiate specific cardiomyopathies and infiltrative diseases, leveraging modern echo clues to diagnose conditions like amyloidosis in the era of targeted therapy.
Characterize specialized and congenital cardiac conditions, including uncorrected adult congenital defects, ventricular septal defects, and bicuspid valve aortopathy.
Integrate cutting-edge echocardiography technologies into daily clinical practice to enhance coronary and structural assessments.
