EAE/ASE recommendations for the use of echocardiography in new transcatheter interventions for valvular heart disease

open access: yes, 2011
The introduction of devices for transcatheter aortic valve implantation, mitral repair, and closure of prosthetic paravalvular leaks has led to a greatly expanded armamentarium of catheter-based approaches to patients with regurgitant as well as stenotic

A simplified definition of diastolic function in sepsis, compared against standard definitions

open access: yesJournal of Intensive Care, 2019
Background Guidelines for grading diastolic dysfunction poorly categorize septic patients. We compared how well the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) 2009 and 2016 definitions and a simplified definition categorized septic patients.
