Significant disagreement between conventional parameters and 3D echocardiography-derived ejection fraction in the detection of right ventricular systolic dysfunction and its association with outcomes
Conventional echocardiographic parameters such as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), fractional area change (FAC), and free-wall longitudinal strain (FWLS) offer limited insights into the complexity of right ventricular (RV) systolic function, while 3D echocardiography-derived RV ejection fraction (RVEF) enables a comprehensive assessment. We investigated the discordance between TAPSE, FAC, FWLS, and RVEF in RV systolic function grading and associated outcomes. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography)

Timing and Patients ’ Position During Cuff Blood Pressure Measurement Affect Myocardial Work Parameters Measured by Echocardiography
Although cuff blood pressure measurement is a critical parameter to calculate myocardial work (MW) noninvasively, there is no recommendation about when and how to measure it. Accordingly, we sought to evaluate the effects of the timing during the echo study and the patient's position on the scanning bed during the cuff blood pressure measurement on MW parameter calculations.

Our ASE Staff: The Heart & Soul of ASE
One of the highlights of being President of our Society is the opportunity to interact with our ASE staff on a daily basis. Dr. Alan Pearlman, ASE Past President and ASE Historian, in the recent issue of Echo Magazine1, very elegantly detailed the history of our ASE staff development in the early years of our Society. As a corollary to this, I would like to introduce and highlight our amazing current ASE staff with hopes of educating our members on the tremendous support that they provide for us as a Society.

Acknowledgement of JASE Reviewer Team
The day-to-day operation of JASE is dependent on our exceptional team which includes a deputy editor who assigns the papers to associate editors, and the associate editors who, in turn, identify reviewers. Our team in 2023 included deputy editor, Dr. Victor Mor-Avi, who served for the first part of the year, and Dr. Peter Rahko, who then advanced from associate editor to deputy editor. Our associate editors included Drs. Nina Ajmone Marsan, Gerard Aurigemma, Luigi Badano, Brian Hoit, Jonathan Lindner, Sheldon Litwin, Anita Moon-Grady, Sherif Nagueh, Marielle Scherrer-Crosbie, John Simpson, Jeremy Thaden, and Liza Thomas.

Echocardiographic Detection of Regional Wall Motion Abnormalities using Artificial Intelligence Compared to Human Readers
Although regional wall motion abnormality (RWMA) detection is foundational to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), current methods are prone to inter-observer variability. We aimed to develop a deep learning (DL) model for RWMA assessment and compare it to expert and novice readers. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography)
