Since the publication of the recommendations for multimodality cardiovascular imaging of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in 2011, an impressive growth and evolution of imaging techniques has occurred, enhancing both the recognition and management of the disease. Thus, an update was needed to provide recommendations that take into account these recent developments. Register for the Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging of Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy live webinar, scheduled for Thursday, July 28, from 6:00 – 7:00 PM ET on Zoom.

Lead author Sherif Nagueh, MD, FASE, will show how multimodality imaging plays a crucial role in the initial evaluation of patients with known or suspected HCM.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how to use multimodality imaging for patients with increased LV wall thickness
• Demonstrate the assessment of dynamic obstruction, including provocable gradients and mitral valve anatomy
• Implement multimodality imaging for risk stratification and prognostication
• Use multimodality imaging for the assessment of ischemia and coronary artery disease

Attendees can earn 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ (pending approval) for attending this webinar. Registration for this webinar is FREE for ASE members (remember to login to your ASE Member portal) and costs $25 USD for nonmembers.

Register today for the Inaugural Echo in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease Virtual Experience.

During this two-day virtual course, Expert U.S. and international physician and sonographer faculty will present the latest information on established and emerging cardiovascular ultrasound technologies, clinical care, and practical considerations in children and adults with congenital heart disease. Case-based approaches and state-of-the-art review are both used to discuss new and established uses of echocardiography for diagnosis and guiding management in patients with a broad array of congenital cardiovascular conditions.

Topics include:

• Unrepaired ACHD
• Cutting-edge functional analysis
• Imaging in high stakes environments
• Contemporary approaches to left heart valve disease
• Happy & Healthy: A Resiliency/Well Being Session
• Exciting debates on fetal and research echocardiography
• And many more. Check out the program agenda!

Registration includes a maximum of 16.5 CME/MOC credits (pending approval) for attending the live virtual course and completing the on-demand content. Attendees will have access to on-demand content for 90 days from Monday, September 19, 2022, to Sunday, December 11, 2022.

On July 7, 2022, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the CY 2023 proposed Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) Rule. This proposed rule announces and solicits public comments on the proposed policy changes for Medicare payments under the Physician Fee Schedule (PFS), and other Medicare Part B issues, for services effective on or after January 1, 2023. Comments will be accepted until September 6, 2022. ASE is beginning our analysis of the Proposed Rule and will provide a summary analysis and fee schedule impacts for members promptly.
