Pacing Strategies, Air Quality, and the Path to Equity | JACC This Week

Pacing Strategies, Air Quality, and the Path to Equity | JACC This Week

Author: American College of Cardiology August 18, 2025 Duration: 13:48

In this week's issue, Dr. Harlan Krumholz highlights new science with direct clinical implications: a randomized trial showing conduction system pacing outperforms RV pacing in AV block, a pragmatic study suggesting HEPA filtration may modestly lower blood pressure, and long-term data from FLAVOR comparing FFR and IVUS-guided PCI. Also featured are a state-of-the-art review on heart failure therapy implementation, a brief report refining NT-proBNP thresholds for pre–heart failure, and an updated JACC Report Card revealing persistent cardiovascular mortality disparities among Black Americans. The issue closes with reflections on equity, anatomy, and two complex case reports.


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.
