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.
