Who Should Attend

ASE’s State-of-the-Art Echocardiography program is designed for adult and pediatric cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, anesthesiologists, radiologists, nurses, sonographers, and fellows in training. Participants should have a practical knowledge of echocardiography.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this conference, participants should be able to:

  • Apply advanced echocardiographic techniques to evaluate valvular heart disease and guide patient management.
  • Integrate multimodality imaging findings into clinical decision-making for structural heart interventions.
  • Assess the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in improving diagnostic accuracy and workflow efficiency in echocardiography.
  • Implement updated practice guidelines for ventricular and atrial function assessment, including 3D and strain imaging.
  • Evaluate evolving strategies for procedural imaging and post-intervention follow-up in valve repair and replacement.
  • Recognize imaging findings associated with cardiomyopathies and pericardial disease in the era of targeted therapy.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in case-based interpretation and team-based decision-making through heart team discussions.

CME Information

ASE is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide accredited continuing education for physicians. 

ASE designates this live course for a maximum of 20.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.  

In addition to offering CME credits, this activity has been developed and registered with ACCME to provide MOC and MOCA 2.0 credits in alignment with AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. 

Successful completion of this CME activity enables the participant to earn up to 20.75 MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program, the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) MOC program, and/or the American Board of Anesthesiology's (ABA) Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology Program® or MOCA 2.0®. It is ASE's responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM and ABP MOC points and/or ABA MOCA 2.0®. 

Participants should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Physicians will earn MOC and/or MOCA 2.0 points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. 

ARDMS, CCI, and Sonography Canada recognize ASE's certificates and have agreed to honor the CME credit hours toward their registry requirements for sonographers.
