Congratulations to both Caption Health and GE HealthCare on this acquisition with great potential to advance AI-echo. Also proud of the role that NM Cardiovascular played in the pivotal trial for Caption's AI guidance: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamac…

Congratulations to my old fellow Greg Scalia and Brisbane colleagues for devising the ePLAR index, now shown to predict mortality in COVID pts. A quick way to distinguish pre- from post-capillary PH! Sanjiv J. Shah, MD NM Cardiovascular Jae K. Oh American Society of Echocardiography #EchoFirst

An early memory of Bijoy was co-organizing the ASE Digital TF in Cleveland Jan, '93 with a co-authored white paper (JASE 1994; 7: 100-6)->DICOM standard and the digital echo lab. The paper actually holds up pretty well! So sad to think he's gone. American Society of Echocardiography #EchoFirst NM Cardiovascular

Great analysis of sources of error, David. Propagation of error, people! It’s why volumetric assessment of MR doesn’t work. R^2>0.9 = shenanigans! Esp subtracting one large number from another. American Society of Echocardiography #echofirst NM Cardiovascular JLindnerMD

I would love to have been there, so many good memories of Korea and Korean friends. Please, KSE, have your meeting sometime other than American thanksgiving, the best U.S. holiday! Great smoked turkey with 5 Koreans in attendance (Bong-Joon Kim)! NM Cardiovascular American Society of Echocardiography #EchoFirst

Ned was my one true mentor who took my somewhat fuzzy desire to assess echocardiography through fluid dynamics principles and focused my attention. I recall one of his daunting Monday morning research meetings: “Ask good questions and answer them carefully.” He will be missed.
