October 14, 2025 - Emerging Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine: From Certification Reform to Inflammation Targeting | JACC This Week

Author: American College of Cardiology October 6, 2025 Duration: 17:18

This episode of JACC This Week, hosted by Harlan M. Krumholz, MD, SM, highlights key research and perspectives from the October 14, 2025 issue of JACC. It opens with a call to modernize physician certification by distinguishing core knowledge from clinical reasoning, emphasizing continuous, engaging learning over rote memorization. Featured studies in this week's issue include the cardiovascular risks linked to clonal hematopoiesis in older women, improved clotting outcomes with third-generation LVADs despite ongoing bleeding risks, and how dapagliflozin reduces heart failure events post-TAVI without improving perceived quality of life. The episode also explores inflammation as a target after myocardial infarction, the evolving role of drug-coated balloons in PCI, and cardiac CT's expanding use in prosthetic valve assessment—signaling a shift toward more precise, less invasive cardiovascular care. We also feature an article from JACC: Asia this week on cardiovascular Implications of lipoprotein(a) and its genetic variants in patients from the Middle East.


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.
