Combining ultrasound elastography and echogenicity analysis may better distinguish between plaques in patients with symptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis than in those without symptoms, according to an Aug. 30 study in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

A group of researchers from a Veterans Affairs health system in California shared their experience with limited left ventricular echocardiography, something they believe could reduce the cost and time required for testing in select patients.

A group of California researchers believes a limited transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) that solely evaluates the left ventricle could be more efficient and cost-effective in certain patients compared to whole echocardiography.

The 17,000-member American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) named Jonathan R. Lindner, MD, president of the organization during its 29th annual scientific sessions in Nashville, Tennessee.

A deep-learning software that can automatically calculate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with less variability than a cardiologist recently received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the current go-to for triaging chest pain patients in the emergency department (ED), but a recent study found the often-overlooked stress echocardiography (SE) may actually be safer and provide patients with a better overall experience.

Machine learning can accurately predict survival after echocardiography by analyzing unique data produced from heart images and electronic health record (EHR) information, according to a recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Imaging.

ImageGuideEcho—the first registry devoted solely to measuring quality in cardiovascular ultrasounds— is now open to U.S. physicians.
