American Society of Echocardiography Scientific Sessions 2025

This comprehensive scientific program was designed to showcase the future of cardiovascular ultrasound. It featured a hybrid format (in-person and virtual) that allowed attendees to explore cutting-edge innovations, including newly FDA-approved technologies and artificial intelligence applications. The curriculum moved beyond traditional lectures to include immersive “do-it-yourself” scanning sessions, “read-with-me” workshops, and multidisciplinary “Episodes of Care” that followed patient journeys from diagnosis to treatment. The sessions emphasized the critical role of echocardiography in structural heart disease, interventional planning, and personalized patient care.
+ What You Will Learn
Participants in this series were able to:

Apply the latest ASE guidelines, including the newly released recommendations for diastolic function and other clinical standards.

Integrate multimodality imaging approaches (CT, MRI, Strain) to optimize procedural guidance for complex structural heart cases.

Utilize artificial intelligence (AI) tools to enhance workflow efficiency and diagnostic accuracy in the echo lab.

Perform advanced acquisition techniques through hands-on training, such as vascular access guidance and structural heart imaging (e.g., ICE catheters).

Evaluate novel technologies pitched during the “Shark Tank” innovation competition to stay ahead of industry trends.
