Abstract: THIS SPECIAL article is part of an annual series for the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia. The authors thank the editor-in-chief, Dr. Kaplan, and the Editorial Board for the opportunity to continue this series, which focuses on the past year's research highlights that pertain to perioperative echocardiography in relation to cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia. The major selected themes for 2022 include (1) updates on mitral valve assessments and interventions, (2) training and simulation updates, (3) outcomes and complications of transesophageal echocardiography, and (4) point-of-care cardiac ultrasound. The themes selected for this special article are just a sample of the advances in perioperative echocardiography during 2022. An appreciation and understanding of these highlights will help to ensure and improve the perioperative outcomes for patients with cardiovascular disease undergoing cardiac surgery.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest None.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
