American Society of Echocardiography Scientific Sessions 2025

• Target Audience: cardiologists, echocardiographers, sonographers, fellows
• Sample video: contact me for sample video
• Information:

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.

• Event Details

Location: Music City Center, Nashville, Tennessee (and Virtual)

• Who Should Attend

The sessions were tailored for the entire cardiovascular ultrasound team:

Adult and Pediatric Cardiologists

Cardiovascular Sonographers

Anesthesiologists (Perioperative/Critical Care)

Emergency Physicians (POCUS users)

Nurses and Nurse Practitioners

Researchers and Industry Leaders

• Why Attend

Milestone Celebration: The event marked the 50th anniversary of the ASE, offering unique networking opportunities with legends in the field and a look back at the history of the specialty.

Hands-On & Interactive: The program prioritized experiential learning with “DIY” scanning labs and “Read with the Experts” sessions that are difficult to replicate in standard online courses.

Guideline Updates: Direct access to the authors and experts behind the newest clinical practice guidelines ensured attendees returned to their practice with the most current standards of care.
