American Society of Echocardiography State-of-the-Art Echocardiography 2024

The American Society of Echocardiography State-of-the-Art Echocardiography 2024 is an in-person advanced imaging course focused on the latest innovations in cardiovascular ultrasound. The program brings together expert faculty to showcase cutting-edge techniques in both diagnostic and interventional echocardiography, integrating live case reviews, hands-on workshops, and discussions of the most recent guideline updates.
What You Will Learn

Advanced imaging modalities such as 3D echocardiography, strain imaging, and contrast-enhanced echocardiography for nuanced cardiac assessments

Echocardiographic evaluation in structural heart disease, including valve disease, congenital defects, and pericardial disease

Use of echocardiography in interventional and perioperative settings, including real-time echo guidance and post-intervention surveillance

Best practices in image acquisition, protocol optimization, artifact recognition, and quality control to ensure diagnostic accuracy

Integration of new ASE guidelines into everyday practice to improve consistency, patient care, and outcomes
