PLEASE NOTE: Beginning today, JASE will be available online only.

Accurate quantification of MR remains challenging with conventional 2D echo because of geometric assumptions & single-frame analysis. We evaluated the feasibility & performance of a novel automated 3D color-flow quantification tool for MR assessment. bit.ly/4hH59eo

For this @JournalASEcho report, the authors set out to develop, validate, and clinically deploy an interpretable, rules-based AI system for the real-time quality assessment of standard echocardiographic views. Read our JASE article: bit.ly/473Dv5b

The aim of this @JournalASEcho study was to develop and validate a deep learning framework for multiclass classification of major MV etiologies using limited routine transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) views. Read our JASE article: bit.ly/4ctaGm0

#ASEchoJC The Pickelhaube sign: Lateral annular S′ ≥16 cm/s associated with ventricular arrhythmias in MVP ⚡️ #EPeeps 👉jacc.org/doi/epdf/10.1016/j.…

✨ Huge thank you to everyone who joined tonight's #ASEchoJC! What an incredible discussion on MVP, MR, MAD, ventricular arrhythmias, and the evolving concept of arrhythmic MVP. 🫀⚡️ Grateful to our outstanding guest authors Dr. Jeffrey Silbiger @LucySafi, @priyaPanday27, and for sharing their expertise and insights, and to my wonderful co-moderators @NadeenFaza and @HeartToProve. A special thank you to our #EchoFirst enthusiasts and engaged audience for contributing to such a lively, thoughtful, and high-yield discussion. Proud to be part of this amazing global #EchoFirst community! 💙🌍 @ASE360 @JournalASEcho

Our group also identified a novel Doppler sign —Bifid-E wave— that could represent an additional echocardiographic marker of advanced MVP and myocardial fibrosis. Keep an eye out for this next time you're reading a Barlow Echo. #ASEchoJC

#ASEchoJC 🫀 Is this patient a good candidate for M-TEER? #EchoFirst holds the answer 💡. 🔑 features that guide candidacy and device selection include: ✅ 3D mitral valve area ✅ Posterior leaflet length ✅ Baseline transmitral gradient ✅ Prolapse/flail location ✅ Flail gap and width ✅ Barlow’s disease ✅ Calcification in the grasping zone The procedure starts long before the procedure—at the #EchoFirst workstation. #CardioTwitter #Echofirst #MTEER🫀📸

Prolapsing valves pull on chords/papillary muscles, stretching the LV wall inward. This causes "curling" (LV crest rotates posteriorly) & the Pickelhaube sign -- a sharp late-systolic S’ wave >16 cm/s on TDI. Both are markers of increased arrhythmia risk! #ASEchoJC
