Noninvasive Prediction of Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure in Patients With Normal Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction: Comparison of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance With Comprehensive Echocardiography
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was recently reported to predict mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP). However, there is a paucity of data on its accuracy for estimation of PCWP in patients with normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF). We sought to examine its accuracy against the invasive gold standard and to compare it with the accuracy of comprehensive echocardiography.

Perioperative Assessment of the Hemodynamic Ventriculoarterial Junction of the Aortic Root by Three-Dimensional Echocardiography
Improved strategies in aortic valve –preserving operations appreciate the dynamic, three-dimensional complexity of the aortic root and its valve. This depends not only on detailed four-dimensional imaging of the planar dimensions of the aortic root but also on quantitative assessment of the valvar leaflets and their competency. The zones of apposition and resulting hemodynamic ventriculoarterial junction formed in diastole determine valvar competency. Current understanding and assessment of this junction is limited, often relying on intraoperative direct surgical inspection. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography)

Pulmonary Vein Flow Morphology after Transcatheter Mitral Valve Edge-to-Edge Repair as Predictor of Survival
Data on the prognostic factors after mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (MV-TEER) are limited. Pulse-wave Doppler interrogation of pulmonary vein flow (PVF) is a convenient method to assess the hemodynamic burden of residual mitral regurgitation (MR), which could be of utility as a predictor of outcomes.

Guidelines for Performing a Comprehensive Pediatric Transthoracic Echocardiogram: Recommendations From the American Society of Echocardiography
Echocardiography is a fundamental component of pediatric cardiology, and appropriate indications have been established for its use in the setting of suspected, congenital, or acquired heart disease in children. Since the publication of guidelines for pediatric transthoracic echocardiography in 2006 and 2010, advances in knowledge and technology have expanded the scope of practice beyond the use of traditional modalities such as two-dimensional, M-mode, and Doppler echocardiography to evaluate the cardiac segmental structures and their function.

Guidelines and Recommendations for Targeted Neonatal Echocardiography and Cardiac Point-of-Care Ultrasound in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: An Update from the American Society of Echocardiography
Targeted neonatal echocardiography (TNE) involves the use of comprehensive echocardiography to appraise cardiovascular physiology and neonatal hemodynamics to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic precision in the neonatal intensive care unit. Since the last publication of guidelines for TNE in 2011, the field has matured through the development of formalized neonatal hemodynamics fellowships, clinical programs, and the expansion of scientific knowledge to further enhance clinical care. The most common indications for TNE include adjudication of hemodynamic significance of a patent ductus arteriosus, evaluation of acute and c...

Educational Framework for Trainees in Neonatal Hemodynamics
The evolution of the field of neonatal hemodynamics since the publication of the 2011 American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines for targeted neonatal echocardiography (TNE)1 has led to mechanistic research and enhancement in care with significant improvements in neonatal outcomes.2 The updated TNE guidelines have now been published.3 The primary goal of TNE evaluation is to obtain longitudinal physiologic information related to heart function and hemodynamics. Image optimization and precision in measurement are essential. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography)

Navigating the Educational Landscape of the American Society of Echocardiography
The primary focus of my year as president of the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) is our membership. Integral to this vision is the education of our members. Education has been and continues to be a major priority for ASE, and our Society has a wide range of diverse educational activities that I would like to highlight.

Time to Look Up from Two Dimensions to See the Third in Mitral Valve Research
Carl Sagan ’s explanation of dimensionality used imagined beings from a two-dimensional (2D) “flat” land where all people and objects can be represented only by flat shapes such as squares and rectangles. In this 2D land, Euclid’s mathematics fully described their world, and they were unable to perceiv e beings or objects in the third dimension. Even when three-dimensional (3D) beings entered the 2D land, they were seen only as shapes on a plane or cross sections of the whole. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography)

This Focus Issue on Pediatric, Neonatal, and Congenital Heart Disease Echocardiography
I am delighted to present this issue, which is entirely dedicated to the topics of echocardiography in pediatrics, neonatal echocardiography, and echocardiography in congenital heart disease. Two guidelines documents frame the issue. Lopez et  al.1 provide “Guidelines for Performing a Comprehensive Pediatric Transthoracic Echocardiogram: Recommendations from the American Society of Echocardiography.” This document builds on the 2010 American Society of Echocardiography guidelines document, which provided recommendations for quantifi cation of cardiac structures and function with two-dimensional, M-mode, and Doppler ec...
