Reframing Cardiovascular Care | JACC This Week

Reframing Cardiovascular Care | JACC This Week

Author: American College of Cardiology September 8, 2025 Duration: 13:24

In this episode, Dr. Harlan Krumholz introduces the September 16, 2025 issue of JACC, which features studies that challenge conventional clinical thinking, including a detailed ECMO physiology study showing that higher ECMO flow does not uniformly raise pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, suggesting the need for individualized management. A novel analysis of the ISCHEMIA trial revealed distinct angina symptom trajectories, emphasizing that recovery is not binary and supporting a more personalized approach to treatment and monitoring. A landmark target trial emulation found that statins significantly reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with type 1 diabetes—filling a key evidence gap. Additional highlights include a call to redefine early cardiogenic shock, a nuanced review of moderate secondary mitral regurgitation, and an editorial reaffirming JACC's commitment to independent, transparent science in alignment with new "Gold Standard Science" principles.


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.
