American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) President Stephen Little, MD, says there will be an increasing need for interventional echocardiographers in the near future.

Ritu Thamman, MD, provided an in-depth look at some of the issues women still encounter in the cardiology workplace, including bullying and barriers to promotion.

A new study in the Journal of the American Heart Association focused on data from more than 18,000 patients.

Two experienced lobbyists who represent the American Society of Echocardiography detailed some of the biggest issues they are working on in Washington.

Researchers examined data from more than 1,300 procedures, presenting their findings in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions.

The European Society of Cardiology's annual meeting is scheduled for Aug. 25-28, 2023, in Amsterdam.

This is a Class I recall, which means using the devices “may cause serious injuries or death.” The catheter's instructions have been updated to reduce the risk of complications going forward. 

The latest Class I recall is due to mechanical issues that can cause the devices to stop charging their batteries. 

Rebecca Hahn, MD, examines the growing role of the dedicated interventional echocardiographer and how these imagers are paid.

“If we can deploy our model on a population-level ECG screening, we would be able to pick up many more of these patients before they have irreversible damage,” a cardiologist behind the new study explained.
