The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) has announced that Dr. Vincent L. Sorrell has accepted the position of CASE Editor-in-Chief (EIC) starting August 1, 2021. CASE, ASE’s online, cardiovascular imaging case reports journal, publishes case reports where cardiovascular ultrasound is used to help diagnose or solve a clinical problem in humans or animals. This popular open access educational platform features cases where cardiovascular ultrasound was used as a critical component of a multimodality approach to disease diagnosis or evaluation or where it was used to detect unusual or atypical disease manifestations.
Dr. Sorrell is the Anthony N. DeMaria Professor of Medicine, Interim Chair of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, and Program Director of the Adult Cardiovascular Fellowship at the University of Kentucky, Gill Heart and Vascular Institute in Lexington, Kentucky. He is a member of the ASE Board of Directors, was awarded the 10th annual Richard Popp Excellence in Teaching Award in 2010, was elected to the Association of University Cardiologists in 2019, and also serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography (JASE). Dr. Sorrell is the author of over 127 research articles, and numerous book chapters, and has been involved in several textbooks.
Under Dr. Sorrell’s direction, CASE will transition from a bi-monthly publication to monthly starting in January 2022.
CASE, which is published by Elsevier, has flourished over the past five years and will strengthen in the future as those involved in patient care will have monthly opportunities to share their findings with those equally as passionate about echocardiography and its ability to elevate patient care. ASE’s educational platform also includes JASE, the ASE Learning Hub, educational products including textbooks like Comprehensive Echocardiography, podcasts, a YouTube channel, and other vehicles to promote the utility and safety of cardiovascular ultrasound.
