Largest study ever performed assessing the mortality association with increasing LV mass from the National Echo Database of Australia, presented @escardio #ESCCongress. New mortality threshold at 88g/m2 for men and 82g/m2 for women. @thecsanz @ASE360 @EchoIQ_AI @ISHBP @EchofirstB

Here it is! The results of the progrnosis of all forms of MR presented this afternoon at #ESC2023 #ESCCongress. 608,570 individuals NEDA, showing that mild, moderate and severe MR all associated with increased mortality. Association independent of age, sex and LV disease. @ASE360

@AlexLee_MD Great shot man!

Distinction between pre- & post-capillary pulmonary hypertension is important for guiding therapy. Here are some echo clues to help distinguish between these levels of PH.

Congratulations to my old fellow @ScaliaGreg and Brisbane colleagues for devising the ePLAR index, now shown to predict mortality in COVID pts. A quick way to distinguish pre- from post-capillary PH! @HFpEF @NMCardioVasc @JaeKOh2 @ASE360 #EchoFirst

Echo in COVID-19:
🔥Hot off the press.... ePLAR (TRVmax divided by mitral E:e' septal) reported as a powerful prognostic tool in COVID-19 patients - especially when PASP is elevated.

@BonitaEcho @ASE360 Very pleased to see ePLAR providing prognostic information on COVID-19 patients.

What a great initiative by the @ASA Board to grant past & future "Pru Pratten Memorial Lifetime Achievement Award" recipients with Honorary ASA Lifetime Membership!
I'm very proud to be one of these recipients (awarded 2010 & the 1st cardiac sonographer to receive)😊

@BonitaEcho @asa Congratulations Bonita,

This award speaks to the depth, breadth and reach of your contribution to our discipline of Echocardiography. Very few people, have given so much teaching, wisdom and skill to us all.

It has been an honour to work beside you for these 25 years.

Excellent and beautiful overview on #cardiacAmyloidosis by @ScaliaGreg at 🏝️#EchoHawaii - the essential role of #EchoFirst in diagnosing and managing this now treatable disease @MarthaGrogan1 @Amyloidosisfdn @JLindnerMD @JamesDThomasMD1

@RobChamb87 @BSEcho Congratulations Rob on completion of your PhD. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to share this journey with you.

[Rob Chamberlain @RobChamb87]

PhD submitted today. Lots of hard work and sacrifice but lots of reward along the way with 5 publications awarded and one under review. To the future but many thanks to my principal supervisor Professor Jonathan Chan for his guidance and advice along the way.

[Rob Chamberlain @RobChamb87]

Presented my PhD thesis on Friday prior to formal submission in the next 6 weeks. Supervisors and examiner were happy and now the final formatting to be done. 6 research chapters, 5 published and one close to submission.

[RTHahnMD @hahn_rt]

So excited that the new TEE Guideline is finally in press @JournalASEcho! https://t.co/0eP07FYKnf Thanks to all my coauthors!! @robertomlang @ScaliaGreg @LucySafi @nishath_quader @gb_mackensen @OKhaliqueMD @JaeKOh2 @LindaGillamMD @EchoKen @SLittleMD. Look for the ASE Webinars!

Estimating PASP from #EchoFirst TR jet? Measure the chin (modal velocity) and not the beard. Superb talk by Francois Haddad full of pearls for imaging pulmonary hypertension. #ASE2021. @ASE360
