ASE 2023 Guidelines on Prosthetic Valve Function
Diagnosis of Aortic Prosthetic Stenosis Grading of prosthetic valve regurgitation generally follows the same principles as native valve regurgitation. Additionally, in the case of paravalvular leak, a circumferential PVL extent of ≥ 30% may indicate severe prosthetic regurgitation. This calculator is designed for the diagnosis of unphysiological prosthetic stenosis. 1. Prosthetic Aortic Jet Velocity > […]
Stepwise Reconstruction of the 2020 BSE Minimum Dataset for Adult Transthoracic Echocardiography
In 2020, the British Society of Echocardiography (BSE) published an updated minimum dataset for adult transthoracic echocardiography, revising the original 2015 proposal. The document defines a structured yet time-efficient examination protocol intended to ensure essential diagnostic completeness in routine clinical practice. The official publication is available via the BSE website: In the accompanying MP4 presentation, the […]
Structured Step-by-Step Reconstruction of the 2019 ASE Comprehensive Adult TTE Examination Protocol
The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) published in 2019 a comprehensive proposal for a standardized adult transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) examination protocol. The document defines a structured and complete imaging approach intended to ensure diagnostic accuracy, reproducibility, and uniform reporting standards. The official guideline is available via the ASE website. In the accompanying MP4 presentation, the entire […]
