    February 24, 2026: ACHD Guideline in Focus—From Survival to Stewardship | JACC This Week

    In this episode of JACC This Week, Dr. Carolyn Lam and Dr. Harlan Krumholz spotlight the 2025 Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Guidelines and explore what they signal for the future of cardiovascular care. Framed by Dr. Krumholz's Editor's Page, "From Survival to Stewardship," this discussion highlights a broader transformation in cardiology: advances that once turned fatal conditions into survivable ones now demand lifelong, structured, and hyper-specialized care. The conversation examines how ACHD exemplifies the shift from episodic survival to coordinated stewardship—where surveillance, systems design, and scalable expertise are essential. The episode also reviews key updates from the guidelines, including risk-based classification, lifelong monitoring, ACHD center collaboration, and global and early-career perspectives. Additional highlights from the issue include cardiac screening in the young, cardio-renal trial insights from CONFIDENCE, wildfire-related cardiovascular risk, and emerging cardiometabolic intersections. This mini-spotlight issue challenges clinicians to rethink how specialized cardiovascular care can be delivered effectively at scale.

    February 17, 2026: Women's Cardiovascular Health in Focus: From Inclusion to Redesign | JACC This Week

    In this episode of JACC This Week, Dr. Carolyn Lam and Dr. Harlan Krumholz explore the JACC Women's Cardiovascular Health Issue—an edition dedicated to advancing science, care, and professional culture for women in cardiology. The discussion spans original research and viewpoints addressing menopause and cardio-oncology risk, sex differences in dilated cardiomyopathy, device trials, rehabilitation after heart failure, global disparities, and the intersection of sex, race, and socioeconomic status in cardiovascular outcomes. Beyond inclusion, this episode highlights a deeper challenge: whether our systems of evidence generation, clinical care, and professional training are designed to serve women fully and routinely. The conversation also features a powerful viewpoint by Sarah Krumholz, Dueling Pursuits: Balancing Motherhood and Medicine, catalyzing a broader dialogue about leadership gaps, culture, and the future of cardiology. This episode sets the stage for a special bonus continuation focused on redesigning the profession for the next generation.

    February 10, 2026: Amyloidosis in Focus: Diagnosis Delays, Early Treatment, and What Clinicians Must Know | JACC This Week

    In this episode of JACC This Week, Dr. Harlan M. Krumholz and Dr. Carolyn S.P. Lam discuss a dedicated issue of JACC focused on cardiac amyloidosis—one of the fastest-evolving areas in cardiovascular medicine. They explore new evidence highlighting significant delays in diagnosing ATTR cardiomyopathy, the early divergence of mortality benefit with timely treatment, and why time to diagnosis is no longer a neutral factor. The conversation also examines secondary analyses from major clinical trials, practical guidance for amyloidosis evaluation and management, and Dr. Krumholz's Editor's Page on "computable diagnosis" as a moral imperative. This episode places emerging science in clinical context, emphasizing urgency, equity, and how clinicians should be thinking differently about diagnosis, staging, and access to therapy in amyloid heart disease.

    February 3, 2026: A New Season of JACC This Week: Valve Disease, Editorial Vision, and Engaging the Global Cardiology Community | JACC This Week

    Welcome to the new season of JACC This Week! In this episode, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Harlan Krumholz is joined by co-host Dr. Carolyn Lam to kick off a refreshed, more conversational era of the podcast. Together, they reflect on the evolution of the show, approach to thematic curation, and introduce the February 3 issue of JACC, curated around valve heart disease. The discussion explores JACC's approach to thematic issues, the importance of timely publication, and how emerging evidence is shifting valvular heart disease management toward lifetime decision-making and patient-centered outcomes. Highlights include insights into aortic stenosis and regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation, global perspectives on valve care, and what clinicians should be watching as transcatheter therapies continue to evolve. Dr. Krumholz also shares the thinking behind his Editor's Page on scientific writing—specifically, how a strong introduction earns the reader's trust—offering practical guidance for researchers at all stages. The episode sets the tone for a new season focused on rigor, relevance, global inclusion, and meaningful dialogue with the cardiovascular community.

    JACC's November 25, 2025 issue kicks off Thanksgiving week with JACC Editor-in-Chief Harlan M. Krumholz, MD, SM, reflecting on his editor's page and the day he became a doctor (0:12).  For original research articles, he discusses a study on colchicine & clonal hematopoiesis, an exploratory study of the LoDoCo2 trial (1:10), and a paired editorial comment with more perspectives and a reminder of the upcoming COLCOT trial (4:33).

    November 18, 2025: Adiposity, Heart Failure, and the Future of Cardiometabolic Care | JACC This Week

    In the November 18, 2025 issue of JACC, Editor-in-Chief Harlan M. Krumholz, MD, SM, FACC, uses his editor's page to reflect on the evolving role of editors as partners with authors in strengthening cardiovascular science. The issue itself centers on adiposity, featuring multiple pooled analyses showing that waist-to-height ratio and waist circumference outperform BMI in predicting heart failure and mortality risk. Other highlights include a meta-analysis confirming GLP-1 receptor agonists' broad cardiovascular benefits, new insights into obesity's impact on biomarkers and disease interpretation, and several pieces, including state of the art reviews and viewpoints, on obesity-related conditions. Our issue focus on adiposity as a central driver of cardiometabolic disease shows the need for tailored, collaborative approaches to patient care and research. #stride #adipokinehypothesis
