Recent advancements in echocardiography since ACC.25 highlight a shift toward greater precision, efficiency, and consistency in cardiac imaging. Standardized echo reporting is now recognized as a key marker of quality care, improving communication and supporting more reliable clinical decisions, while artificial intelligence enhances imaging through automated measurements and diagnostic support. Together, these innovations strengthen echocardiography’s foundational role in heart disease management by improving accuracy, consistency, and overall patient outcomes

In this interview, Steven E. Nissen MD, MACC David H. Wiener, MD, FACC discuss practice-changing advancements in echocardiography.
