🫀Happy Sonography Week! CSE proudly recognizes and celebrates the cardiac sonographers across Canada who are at the heart of echocardiography. Every echocardiogram represents far more than a collection of images. Behind each study is a sonographer applying technical expertise, clinical knowledge, critical thinking and experience. Adapting to challenging anatomy, recognizing pathology, optimizing every view, and often going the extra mile to obtain the information needed to help guide patient care. At CSE, we are proud to support a community where sonographers, physicians, trainees and researchers work together to advance education, quality and excellence in echocardiography across Canada. Happy Sonography Week from all of us at the CSE! #Sonographyweek #Sonography #Cardiacsonography #Echocardiography #CardiacUltrasound #CSEcho2027 #CSE2027 __ @ASE360 @SonographyCNDA @HeartDocSharon @JournalASEcho @drsabede @hlpsmh @ChiMingChow1 @OKiamanesh @ChristinaLuong3 @ChetritMichael @amerjohri

A major step forward for women at #ESCCongress 🫀 The new 5th Universal Definition of MI explicitly requires sex-specific 99th-percentile troponin thresholds recognizing that using the same cutoff in women and men can systematically underdiagnose myocardial injury in women It also recognizes SCAD, coronary vasospasm & embolism as causes of primary MI—mechanisms especially important in women. Women’s heart attacks don’t always look like men’s. Our definitions finally reflect that. We wanted to enforce this in the Cheat Pain guidelines but we didn’t have enough data in the US at that time. Glad this has changed! #CardioTwitter #WomensHeartHealth #MyocardialInfarction

#DOMINO registry on MINOCA presented by @DoryMD #ESCCongress with senior author @anagalmeida1 ➡️ prospective, international registry of 365 MINOCA patients across 17 centres in 13 countries (2023–2025), designed to measure how often @escardio guideline-recommended advanced testing (CMR, intracoronary imaging, invasive functional assessment) is actually used in real-world practice, and whether it’s linked to reaching a specific etiologic diagnosis. Congratulations to Doralise and the entire group! 🔥 5 key points 🔥 1.Testing was underused, 30.4% got no advanced testing, 34.2% no CMR, 95.1% no functional assessment, with use ranging 0–100% across countries. 2.Testing was linked to reaching a diagnosis, OR ~3.7–3.9, significant in two of three models, with resolution rising stepwise from 85.6% to 97.1%. 3.The link is partly definitional, since CMR and functional testing are themselves used to assign diagnoses, so part of the benefit is circular. 4.The sex gap in CMR is explained by age, women were ~14 years older, and the disparity vanished after age adjustment. 5.A treatment gap persists after diagnosis, e.g. calcium channel blockers newly prescribed in only 25% of eligible spasm/microvascular patients. #MINOCA #Cardiology #CardioTwitter #CMR #CardiacMRI #MultimodalityImaging #CardiovascularImaging #HeartHealth #ESCGuidelines #GuidelineAdherence #WomensHeartHealth #SexDisparities #CardioEd #ChestPain #AcuteCoronarySyndrome #PreventiveCardiology #CardiovascularResearch #EurHeartJ #DOMINOregistry #HeartTeam

It was a pleasure and highlight at conclusion of recent #CSEcho2026 in Vancouver to participate in collaborative @CSEchoCa @ASE360 @JournalASEcho Podcast Journal Club w/ Drs Hamza, Pellikka, and Johri to discuss echo in prognosis of #CardiacAmyloid Please click👇to join us!
We invite you to watch the newest episode of the CSE/JASE podcast! This collaboration between the CSE Live Journal Club and the JASE Podcast features Dr. Izhan Hamza, to discuss his paper “Echocardiographic Phenotypic Differences Between Light-Chain and Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloid and Relation to Outcome” from the December 2025 issue of JASE. CSE's Dr. Amer Johri is joined by CSE's Dr. Sharon Mulvagh, and ASE's Dr. Patricia Pellikka for expert panel discussion. Join us as we explore how echocardiographic parameters can help refine risk stratification and improve prognosis assessment for cardiac amyloidosis! 🔗Podcast link: youtu.be/9jTBYL-G9Ls #CSEcho2026 #CSEcho2027 #JASE #Echocardiography #Amyloidosis
