Excited to be part of this amazing team as it builds the next decade of innovation. I'm also honored to announce my new title as Co-Director of the Center for Clinical Outcomes Research @SmithBIDMC along with my esteemed colleague @JenicaUpshaw. @ASE360@BidmcCvi
After a decade of growth, we’re now the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Institute for Evidence, Innovation, and Policy.
The Institute's centers will bring together bold ideas, rigorous science, and clinical expertise to improve people’s health and lives.

A step toward expanding the reach of contrast-enhanced ultrasound: @DocStrom helped lead an @ICUS_Society effort urging the FDA to approve a whole-body indication for ultrasound contrast agents, moving beyond the current organ-by-organ approach.

I built an interactive echocardiography tutorial with Claude Code.
Chapter 07: a 3D heart, the standard imaging views, the probe position, and simulated ultrasound video.
@BiancaJudyC This @AmericanHeartJ article from 1983 by the great Sanijv Kaul @OHSUNews (https://t.co/JeGmItnZNc) - RV focused view with cursor aligned to capture maximum displacement. RV longitudinal > concentric fibers ⬇️ first in RV dysfunction, hence utility in early dz @ASE360
Research by @harvardmed student Christy Zheng found that approximately 52% of older adults treated with anthracyclines received no echo within 18 months, with wide variation across hospitals & providers. @JACCJournals@DocStrom@JenicaUpshaw

Kudos to ICUS for taking this on with a formal petition. The boxed warning never matched the safety data and has caused real underuse of contrast echo, particularly in women where image quality suffers most. Long overdue.
Attending the International Bubble Conference in Chicago? @DocStrom will be there presenting an update on contrast-enhanced ultrasound safety. Come check it out today! #BubbleMtg2026@icus_society
Today, we @icus_society submitted a petition to the @FDA recommending approval of a whole body indication for #UEAs. Contrast isn't specific about the organs it enters, why should our regulations be? When the majority of use is off-label, there's an issue with the label.
Today, we @icus_society submitted a citizens petition to the @FDA to remove the black box warning for #UEAs. After 2 decades of use, the science is clear: #UEAs remain among the safest of all contrast agents and it's time for the label to change. DM if you want to help.
Featuring work from @DocStrom, this new study underscores the importance of improving recognition, treatment, and equity in AS care. 🔗Read the full article: https://t.co/SRWPx5EmmS @BidmcCvi
New findings from the CAMELOT-ALERT Study by Pierantonio Russo, @DocStrom, and colleagues found differences in diagnostic yield and retesting across ambulatory cardiac monitoring platforms in Medicare beneficiaries. https://t.co/dcV1FYSVqk

@JaeKOh2@wikimagen@ottoecho I agree, Jae. We do this routinely @BIDMChealth as better it reflects what gradients would be if stroke volume and flow rate were normal. We also routinely measure mean flow rate as helpful in NFLG AS to distinguish those that are truly low flow. @ASE360

@DocStrom recently joined Dr. Julie Humphries for ESANZ's "Echo Legends" to discuss the digital revolution in cardiology and how AI is advancing echocardiography, improving speed, precision, and objectivity. ESANZ members can watch the interview here: https://t.co/ipTulDhUWG
Welcome @n_spetko to the General Cardiology section @BIDMCHealth! Dr. Spetko is also a Faculty Physician Investigator @SmithBIDMC. His research focuses on how CV imaging shapes care delivery + pt outcomes.
