Please Share Your Feedback on JASE
The Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography (JASE) is consistently ranked as the top ASE member benefit. It is important to share your feedback on this survey regarding your reading and usage habits. Your responses will be strictly confidential and will be used only to inform and improve JASE. We would be most grateful if you would take the survey by Wednesday, November 4. As the famous, or rather infamous, Mark Twain once supposedly said, “Our opinions do not really blossom into fruition until we have expressed them to someone else.”
