Author: American College of Cardiology March 31, 2026 Duration: 19:36

This week's edition of JACC This Week brings Dr. Carolyn Lam and Dr. Harlan Krumholz into a deep exploration of a special issue devoted to innovative cardiovascular research emerging from China. As they highlight newly published studies and their global significance, they reflect on how scientific progress accelerates when discoveries are shared across regions and cultures. Their conversation reinforces a central message: advancing cardiovascular health requires collective effort, open exchange, and a commitment to evaluating science based on quality—not geography.


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.
