Dr. Carolyn Lam and Dr. Harlan Krumholz sit down with Dr. Rishi Wadhera to unpack the first-ever JACC Cardiovascular Statistics issue. They explore why this annual report matters, the key trends in U.S. cardiovascular health, and what clinicians should take away about hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and heart‑failure patterns. The discussion highlights implementation gaps, disparities, and how data can guide action in heart health.


Every week, the editors of one of the world's leading cardiology journals sit down for a conversation that goes beyond the printed page.

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.
