American Society of Echocardiography State-of-the-Art Echocardiography 2025

The 37th Annual State‑of‑the‑Art Echocardiography (SOTA 2025) is the American Society of Echocardiography’s flagship scientific and educational meeting, held in Scottsdale, Arizona. This edition moved echocardiography beyond diagnosis and into prognostic decision‑making, emphasizing how advanced echo parameters guide outcomes in structural heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, and interventional cardiology.

 🔴 Course Overview

SOTA 2025 followed four integrated themes: Structural Heart Disease, Myocardial & Pericardial Disease, Coronary Artery Disease, and Interventional Echocardiography. Faculty—many of whom authored the 2025 ASE Guidelines—focused on practical application, common pitfalls, and how to translate measurements such as strain and 3D volumes into real‑world clinical decisions.

 

 💯 What You Will Learn

• Right Heart Guidelines (2025): Updated prognostic cut‑offs for TAPSE, RV free‑wall strain, and 3D RV ejection fraction.
• Structural Interventions: Step‑by‑step echo guidance for TEER (tricuspid) and LAA occlusion procedures.
• Strain Imaging: Practical integration of GLS as a daily vital sign in cardio‑oncology and valvular surveillance.
• Advanced Hemodynamics: Doppler‑based estimation of intracardiac pressures for HFpEF and pulmonary hypertension.
