Download the New Echo for Cardiac Amyloidosis Poster

ASE offers a variety of echocardiography and amyloidosis resources, and we are happy to announce a new, free poster available now on our website! Download the Echo for Cardiac Amyloidosis poster that was produced by ASE in collaboration with Pfizer. This piece was created from an article “Practical Points for Echocardiography in Cardiac Amyloidosis” that was published in the Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography. This new poster focuses on the common echocardiographic imaging findings of cardiac amyloidosis (CA), and highlights red flags that should raise suspicion for the diagnosis. It offers practical tips for image acquisition and interpretation and outlines recommendations for standard reporting of an echocardiogram in a patient with CA.

GivingTuesday 2023 is Around the Corner!

GivingTuesday is next week on November 28, but the ASE Foundation will be accepting contributions toward its $35,000 fundraising goal from Sunday, November 26 – Saturday, December 2. When considering your donation, keep in mind that you can earmark your funds to a Foundation initiative that aligns with your priorities. If bringing adult and pediatric cardiac care to areas in need, teaching clinicians, and providing direct patient services to at-risk communities around the world is important to you, consider donating to the Foundation’s Global Health Outreach initiative.
In September 2023, the Foundation welcomed the return of its in-person global health events. In collaboration with the Vietnam National Heart Institute at Bach Mai Hospital, a team of ASEF volunteers traveled to Sapa in Northern Vietnam to host a two-day medical outreach and research event. They also participated in a two-day Vietnam-America Echocardiography Symposium at Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi, which consisted of lectures and case presentations for over 150 clinicians from across Northern and Central Vietnam. You can read more about this event online here and in the upcoming December 2023 issue of Echo magazine.
Donations to the Foundation’s Global Health Outreach initiative also fund the dissemination of both English and translated guidelines and educational materials to help facilitate adoption of these quality measures by specialists worldwide. When planning your GivingTuesday donation next week, consider donating to Global Health Outreach.
Contact the Foundation at Foundation@ASEcho.org with any questions or to make an early pledge
