Groundbreaking Cardiovascular Ultrasound Technologies Unveiled at ASE’s 36th Annual Scientific Sessions in Nashville

(NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 2, 2025) — The future of cardiovascular ultrasound is being showcased at the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) 36^th Annual Scientific Sessions, September 5-7, 2025, at the Music City Center in Nashville, Tenn. Over 60 companies will highlight their groundbreaking innovations including newly FDA-approved technologies, provide immersive and hands-on demonstrations, new advancements in contrast, and medical tools that will lead to more accurate diagnoses and personalized patient treatment.

ASE’s Echo Expo changes this year to welcome four Education Hubs where the sponsoring companies can showcase their products in a more individualized learning experience. Two start-up companies are also participating in the new Accelerator Hub area that is designed to bring awareness to early innovations in the field. ASE 2025 is the world’s premier meeting for cardiovascular ultrasound practitioners and promises a wealth of education, research and the latest vendor technology. The Echo Expo will be open Friday, September 5, 1:15 – 6:00 p.m.; Saturday, September 6, 10 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and Sunday, September 7, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m.
