Integrating AI into daily life at the echo lab🫀 We were pleased to welcome Dr. @FedericoAsch , director of the Echocardiography Core Lab at MedStar Health Research Institute and Professor of Medicine at Georgetown University, to deliver the @ASE360 keynote lecture at #CSEcho2026. Dr. Asch sparked insightful discussion on clinical applications for AI and its potential impact on workflow efficiency, reproducibility, and quality assurance in the echo lab. This lecture highlighted how AI-enabled tools can be thoughtfully integrated into echo lab workflows while maintaining full clinical oversight and interpretive responsibility. What an important and timely conversation as innovation in cardiovascular AI continues to evolve! #AI #CVultrasound #machinelearning #echocardiography @MedStarHealth @amerjohri @HeartDocSharon @drsabede @ChiMingChow1 @ChetritMichael @AnaBaracCardio @OKiamanesh @ChristinaLuong3 @DavidWienerMD @NathanLeader22 @dineshpmcc1 @VCHhealthcare @CardioUBC @AZafar_MD

How is #AI reshaping #echocardiography? 🫀 At #CSEcho2026, experts including Dr. Christina Luong, Dr. Partho Sengupta, and Dr. Francois Tournoux explored how AI is advancing echo practice through automated image acquisition and quantification, enhanced valvular heart disease diagnosis and risk stratification, and AI-augmented workflows that improve efficiency while preserving clinical expertise. As AI becomes increasingly integrated in the field of echocardiography, it is critical to understand the value of these tools, and how they can be used to support a precision health approach, helping to deliver more personalized, data-driven cardiovascular care. We were thrilled to welcome Drs. Luong, Sengupta, and Tournoux to #Vancouver and are grateful for their valuable insights! 👀Missed this session? All attendees receive on demand access to all recorded sessions for the next 6 months! @CardioUBC @DilawriCVI @VCHhealthcare @amerjohri @pattypellikka @HeartDocSharon @ChiMingChow1 @ChetritMichael @drsabede @OKiamanesh @AnaBaracCardio @dineshpmcc1 @NathanLeader22
