American Society of Echocardiography
The leading US professional society for cardiac ultrasound, publishing the most widely used echocardiographic guidelines and reference ranges.
The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) is the principal US professional society for cardiac ultrasound, founded in 1975. ASE publishes the consensus guidelines that define how echocardiographic studies should be performed, measured, and reported.
Reference documents include the 2015 chamber-quantification guidelines (definitive for LVEF, LV mass, LA volume, chamber dimensions), the 2016 diastolic-function recommendations (E, A, E/e’, TR velocity, LAVI), the 2015 right-heart-assessment guideline (TAPSE, FAC, RV strain), and the 2018 strain consensus.
ASE-aligned reporting is the de facto standard for AI-assisted echocardiography platforms targeting the North American market.
