Video preparation for Echo Rounds or Echo Didactics (Back to Top)
The video clip(s) accompanying Echo Rounds or Echo Didactics submissions should conform to the following:
Formatted in MPEG, QuickTime (MOV), Windows Media Video (WMV) or MP4.
Play on both Windows and Macintosh platforms. The review process will be delayed if the Editorial Office cannot play your video clip.
Individual size should not exceed 15 MB. Use video-compression software to reduce video size if necessary.
Optimal video frame dimensions of 480 x 360 pixels and 640 x 480 pixels. Videos of 320 x 240 pixels have inadequate resolution for teaching.
Duration of individual video clip should be less than 15-25 seconds.
Combinations of clips: If you combine several video clips, for example several TEE echocardiographic loops, please provide adequate time for
each segment, and leave a suitable gap between the videos. Use appropriate labeling to ensure that the viewer can understand the timing of
the pathology and events. Labeling can be added with video editing programs such as Adobe Premiere or iMovie.
The figure(s) accompanying Echo Rounds or Echo Didactics submissions should conform to the following:
Formatted in high-resolution JPEG or TIFF formats.
Individual size should not exceed 500 KB (to permit adequate resolution for printing).
Supplemental Material (Back to Top)
Authors may submit separate supplemental material to enhance their article's text and to be considered for online-only posting.
Supplemental material may include the following types of content: text documents, graphs, tables, figures, audio, and video.
Cite all supplemental digital content consecutively in the text.
Citations should include the type of material submitted, should be clearly labeled, and should include a sequential number (Example
“Supplemental Figure1”, “Supplemental Table 1”, “Supplemental Video 1”).
Supplemental Legends should be submitted separately and should provide a brief description of the supplemental content. For example:
“Supplemental Table 1: Lists all medications used in this study.”
Each supplemental digital content file must be composed to standalone. For example, tables and figures must include titles, legends, and/or
footnotes, following journal style, so the viewer can fully understand the supplemental content on its own. Production will not make any edits to
the supplemental files; they will be presented as submitted.
For audio and video files, enter the author name, videographer, participants, length (minutes), and size (MB) of file in Editorial Manager.
Authors should mask patients’ eyes and remove patients’ names from supplemental digital content unless they obtain written consent from the
patients and submit written consent with the manuscript. Copyright for video or audio supplemental digital content will be required upon
acceptance.
For a list of acceptable file types and size limits, please review LWW's requirements for submitting supplemental digital content:

Additional Information (Back to Top)
1. Units of Measurement
Use metric units. The units for pressures are mmHg or cmH2O. Diagonal slashes are acceptable for simple units, e.g., mg/kg; when more than
two items are present, negative exponents should be used, i.e., ml · kg
-1
· min
-1
instead of ml/kg/min.
2. Abbreviations
Define all abbreviations except those approved by the International System of Units for length, mass, time, temperature, amount of
substance, etc. Do not create new abbreviations for drugs, procedures, experimental groups, etc.
3. Drug Names and Equipment
Use generic names. If a brand name must be used, insert it in parentheses after the generic name. Provide manufacturer's name, city, state,
and country. Be careful about the use of trademarked terms (e.g., Thrombelastography
TM
, TEG
TM
, etc.).
4. Statistical Analysis
Detailed statistical methodology must be reported. Describe randomization procedures and the specific tests used to examine each part of the
results; do not simply list a series of tests. Care should be taken with respect to a) parametric vs. nonparametric data, b) corrections for
multiple comparisons, and c) rounding errors (summary statistics should not contain more significant digits than the original data). Median
range (or percentiles) is preferred for nonparametric data.
5. Patient Identification
Do not use patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers. An individual (other than an author) must not be recognizable in photographs unless
written consent of the subject has been obtained and is provided at the time of submission.
