Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the application and advancement of echocardiography, including transthoracic, transesophageal, and stress echocardiography. It covers the use of echocardiography in diagnosing and assessing various cardiac conditions such as patent foramen ovale, aortic stenosis, cardiac sarcoidosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. The journal also explores novel echocardiographic techniques like strain echocardiography, 3D echocardiography, and myocardial work analysis, as well as the role of echocardiography in specific patient populations like those undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, cancer patients, and patients with adult congenital heart disease. Furthermore, it addresses the development and validation of risk scores, the accuracy of echocardiographic parameters, and the evolving roles of healthcare professionals in echocardiography services.
