ASE’s 6th Annual Echo Florida course is a comprehensive review of cardiovascular ultrasound in clinical practice. It takes place October 8-10, 2017 with a preconference Learning Lab available October 7, at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resort at Walt Disney World® in Orlando, FL. Expect a heavy emphasis on case-based learning, structural heart disease, and valve repairs with a focus on strengths and limitations of established and emerging technologies and how these technologies can be used to improve and streamline patient care in a cost-conscious manner. Download the Advance Program and register today.

The 2016 Impact Factors were released Wednesday, June 14, and ASE is pleased to announce that the impact factor for the Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography (JASE) increased to 6.852 as compared with 4.254 in 2015. JASE now ranks 13 of 126 journals listed in the Cardiac & Cardiovascular Systems journal category. This is a large jump from 2015 when JASE ranked 29 out of 124.

Change is almost always good, but this time it is great. ASEUniversity.org, ASE’s online education site, not only has a whole new look, but it is much easier to find exactly what you need. Here are some highlights of the new site:

• The log in process is much more efficient, allowing you to manage your account.
• It is easier to identify Exam Prep, Conference Recordings, and Online Education.
• You can search by any topic, or specific faculty, and get a comprehensive list of offerings.

This is not the last of the changes. Other exciting features will be added in the coming weeks! Be sure to check out the new ASEUniversity.org today and add it to your routine in the future.

As a special feature to go along with the latest guideline, Recommendations for Noninvasive Evaluation of Native Valvular Regurgitation: A Report from the American Society of Echocardiography Developed in Collaboration with the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, we have included eight Valvular Regurgitation Cases. These cases highlight the guideline contents, and more cases will be added as they become available.
