ASE’s 36th Annual State-of-the-Art Echocardiography (SOTA)

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be better able to:
• Incorporate state-of-the-art clinical applications of echocardiography
and Doppler ultrasound into clinical decision-making
• Utilize echocardiography in valvular heart disease
• Evaluate patients prior to, during, and following various structural heart
disease procedures such as TAVR, transcatheter edge-to-edge repair,
and left atrial appendage closure
• Perform a 3D acquisition and measurement of biventricular size and
function
• Explain the new diastolic function guidelines
• Assess right and left ventricular function with state-of-the-art
echocardiographic technology including strain imaging

Overview of State-of-the-Art Echocardiography
The 2024 program follows the themes of structural heart disease,
myocardial and pericardial disease, coronary artery disease, and
interventional echocardiography. During the course, presentations will
highlight what echo brings to each theme, help clinicians recognize and
avoid common errors and pitfalls, and learn how to apply the guidelines in a
practical manner.
The faculty consists of recognized leaders in the field of echocardiography
acclaimed for their teaching abilities. Participants will have the opportunity
to interact with the faculty one-on-one in the preconference, computerbased Learning Lab, and during the question and answer sessions
