On the April episode of the Heart Failure Beat, Priya and Michael take on adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) with guests Chetan Pasrija, MD, MS, and Ari Cedars, MD, and discover that it’s never too early to refer a patient with ACHD for advanced therapies. Andrew Sauer, MD, an associate editor of the Journal of Cardiac Failure, joins the episode for a new segment featuring a review of a recently published article on the STRONG-HF trial.

We are pleased to announce that we are back after a brief hiatus, with segments recorded around the holidays in late 2023. In this episode, our hosts will discuss the broad topic of women in heart failure with guests Katherine Clark, MD, MBA, FACC, Ersilia DeFilippis, MD, FACC, FHFSA, and Eileen Hsich, MD, FHFSA.

Priya and Michael chat with the editors of the Journal of Cardiac Failure about what constructive disruption to scientific publishing means, touching on broad inclusion, double-blind peer reviews within seven days, being a platform for critical documents that help to define the field, mentorship, and what’s on the horizon for the JCF.

Our hosts sat down with Dr. Biykem Bozkurt, the lead author on the 2023 HF Stats℠ annual report Heart Failure Epidemiology and Outcomes Statistics: A Report of the Heart Failure Society of America at the HFSA Annual Scientific Meeting 2023 to discuss trends, report outcomes, and next steps.
