In this focus issue on Heart Failure in Practice, JACC Editor-in-Chief Dr. Harlan Krumholz examines how contemporary research continues to refine and at times challenge our understanding of heart failure management. This week's episode features a first-of-its-kind trial on dual therapy with SGLT2 inhibitors and MRAs, new real-world data on heart failure with improved EF, and sobering insights into what happens when foundational therapies are withdrawn. Also explored: sex-specific risks in genetic cardiomyopathies, the limitations of standard stroke prediction tools, and the case for modernizing ICD eligibility criteria. As always, the episode concludes with a synthesized summary of key takeaways for clinicians.


Every week, the editors of one of the world's leading cardiology journals sit down for a conversation that goes beyond the printed page. JACC This Week, from the American College of Cardiology, brings together Editor-in-Chief Dr. Harlan Krumholz and Senior Consulting Editor Dr. Carolyn S.P. Lam. Their discussions provide essential context for the complex research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, translating high-level science into meaningful insights. You’ll hear them dissect new studies, debate emerging trends, and explore the real-world implications of the latest findings in cardiovascular medicine. This isn't just a summary of the issues; it's a dialogue about how evidence is shaping modern heart care, from prevention to advanced intervention. The podcast serves as a direct line to the experts who are curating the science that defines global standards. Each episode feels like joining an informed, behind-the-scenes editorial meeting, where the nuances of patient care and clinical practice are thoughtfully examined. For anyone invested in cardiology-whether a practicing clinician, a researcher, or a dedicated student-this regular audio companion offers clarity and a deeper understanding of the forces driving the field forward. It’s where the published data meets practical conversation, all through the accessible format of a weekly podcast.
